Abstract: 

Every computing enthusiast wonders what new applications of computes are yet to be had, and while computers are an integral part of mondern-day cars a pc-like experience remains elusive in the cockpit. This talk will be targeted towards the DIY/hobbyist, especially those interested in GNU/Linux. The talk will cover choosing readily available components, building, mounting options, installation/configuration, and applications. The attendee should leave with the knowledge, resources, and inspiration to build a computer for their own car.

Abstract: 

Getting GNU/Linux to run on your desktop machine has evolved grown simple but the same can't necessarily be said for notebook/laptop installations.

The specialized hardware of notebooks, including the dominant need of wireless, and ACPI usage like hibernation has left GNU/Linux users at somewhat of a disadvantage.
