Linux-Mobile-Guide is a comprehensive guide designed for Linux users operating laptops, notebooks, PDAs and other mobile devices, seeking to provide assistance on best practices for mobile computing.
If you're a Linux user and own a mobile device such as a laptop, notebook, PDA, mobile cell phone, digital camera, calculator or wearables, then the Linux-Mobile-Guide is an essential read for you. Formerly known as Linux-Laptop-HOWTO, it has been extended to cover a range of Linux-powered mobile devices.
Unlike desktop/tower computers, mobile devices use hardware such as PCMCIA cards, infrared and BlueTooth ports, batteries, and docking stations. These hardware parts are not easily replaceable like in desktops, making them more limiting in terms of hardware compatibility. Furthermore, most mobile devices have limited hardware, such as disk space and CPU speed, and often use specialized hardware that can be difficult to find drivers for.
Linux support for mobile devices can be limited, with some devices not supporting graphics chips or internal modems. Additionally, mobile devices are often used in changing environments and require multiple configurations and additional security strategies.
The Linux-Mobile-Guide provides a comprehensive guide on how to install Linux on laptops and PDAs, as well as detailed configurations for different network environments and security issues for portable computers. It is regularly updated by TuxMobil, which is the origin of the Linux-Mobile-Guide and provides the latest downloadable version available.
In the latest release, a link to keytouch has been added in the Extra Keys section. Overall, the Linux-Mobile-Guide is an invaluable resource for Linux users with mobile devices, providing tips and advice on how to optimize their devices for efficient use.
