Hello,
editing the monthly digest of the TuxMobil News
http://tuxmobil.org/newsfeed.html I noticed that May 2003 brought us
noteworthy applications and news for mobile Linux geeks. Here
is an extract of the monthly digest:
- laptopkernel containing all the patches required to run recent laptops
was initially released. Please support this project.

- TheftGuard made by the BIOS manufacturer Phoenix is a
theft deterrent application not depending on a certain
operating system, which cannot be removed by replacing the harddisk

Because of a severe trademark charge the name had to be changed to TuxMobil.

was done at May 27th
