If you know the technical and user interface limitations blackberry's are truly the steam floating off the shit. They stink.

But not a single corporate executive who carries one wants to bother with looking into the technical details and limitations. All they're interested in is looking like the other guy in the BMW with his logo. Every time I see some smug asshole carrying one it is like a badge of ignorance. It's like they're saying "Lookame!!! I'm rich enough to pay for a BB service plan but too stupid to know I shouldn't have".

They kinda summarize everything that has gone wrong in America. The people who carry them truly prove that it doesn't take intelligence, discipline, attention to detail and dedication to make money - it only takes money to make money. And as these ass-clowns strategize their next foreclosure auction bid their communication device of choice is a damn Blackberry? Yep, badge of flaming ignorance.

a couple of days ago, Daniel Collins published his new kexec-loader v.2.2. I've decided to put this tool into a build-in initrdfs for the N2200 and voila - a useful GRUB-like bootloader for the NetVista was created. Compressed kernels like bzImage, vmlinuz etc. also with separate initrfs are proceeded as well. No kernel patch at 0x2C is needed. Now booting experimental kernels from an attached USB media and keep the internal CF card clean... Dismantling of the box and rewriting the flash drive was yesterday;-)))

Try it and enjoy!

JunOS 10.0R2.10 seems to have fixed most if not all of my major issues.

I have found the SRX range to be unstable compared to the older SSG series. I currently have a JTAC support ticket I have open that I'd like to get fixed before the review is finished, but it has been 2 months without a fix.

At this stage I do not recommend the SRX series over the SSG range.

i am working on a 2.6.31 kernel and im somewhat successful. it boots from my 64MB CF, but not from my 8GB CF, so a little more investigation is needed.

i will document my results either here:
http://blog.chris007.de/?p=10

or over on the forums of the 2.6 sourceforge project here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux2200-26/forums/forum/685786/topic/3437051

feel free to email me (contact data in first link->about me)
