Milax, a new OS distribution

Alexander Eremin has just released a new distribution called Milax. It is the Damn Small Linux of Opensolaris. Its a ~70 Mb download. This is great because opensolaris generally had a big footprint.

Go on to http://www.sunhelp.ru/ for more information. The site is in russian, so you might want to go there via Google translate.

Go check it out.

Building your Sun Spot controlled Car

BITS Pilani, Goa, one of India's top engineering institutes, organized a 3 day Technical fest Quark 08.

A couple of friends(IRR, SVK) and myself participated in the All Terrain Transporter Robotics event.

We built a Sun Spot controlled car. One Spot was mounted on the car and controlled the various motors. We soldered 20 head pins to the lower side of the EdemoBoard and used a 20 pin cable to attach various pins to the electronic components. Another Spot was hand-held and controlled the Car.


Read on for details to build one yourself.
