Gentoo News and Handbook in Plucker Format

February 22nd, 2007 desrod Posted in E-Books, Operating Systems |

Below are some quick screenshots of the Gentoo News RSS feed and the Gentoo Handbook (single-page version) converted for use in Plucker. If you’d like to see other examples or screenshots of this quality, let me know.

The RSS feed was converted with a new tool I’ve written (to be launched soon as an online service) called the “Plucker Syndication Server“. It can take any rss, rdf, xml or atom feed and convert it to the beautiful rendition you see below.

Gentoo Linux is a special flavor of Linux that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need. Extreme reconfigurability, performance and a top-notch user and developer community are all hallmarks of the Gentoo experience.

If you’d like to read this for yourself on your own Palm OS device, just download Plucker and grab any of the documents below:

I am now auto-generating Plucker versions of the the Gentoo Handbook on a monthly basis for 8 architectures and 12 languages. If you’re interested in obtaining copies, let me know.
