Oct 31 07:31:01 <mashers_> Hi all
Oct 31 07:31:09 <mashers_> Just bought my first slug :)
Oct 31 07:31:18 <mashers_> Anybody around who could give me some firmware advice?
Oct 31 07:37:38 <mashers_> Anyone here?
Oct 31 07:40:33 <mashers_> Ok, I'll leave a message and hopefully somebody will reply and I can see it in the chat logs. I'm undecided which firmware to go for and could do with some advice
Oct 31 07:40:45 <mashers_> I have previous experience installing and configuring Linux
Oct 31 07:40:52 <mashers_> I don't need the original slug firmware
Oct 31 07:41:03 <mashers_> It's important to me to be able to boot from ma m
Oct 31 07:41:11 <mashers_> from a memory stick
Oct 31 07:41:21 <mashers_> And I need to be able to add a wifi card
Oct 31 07:41:41 <mashers_> I'm thinking of SlugOS/LE, would that be a better choice than Unsung?
Oct 31 07:41:44 <mashers_> Thanks in advance!
Oct 31 08:07:54 <HRH_H_Crab> mashers_ : my advice is use debian. the only thing that worries me is your requirement to support a wifi card. you'll prob. want a powered hub for that.
Oct 31 14:21:37 <mashers_> HRH_H_Crab: Thanks for the info, I didn't notice Debian on the firmware comparison table. Installation looks straightforward so I'll give it a go when my slug arrives. As for wifi, I'm considering using the internal wifi hack which can take power for the card from the slug power input jack, as long as the PSU is beefy enough
