| Good news: I feel like to continue my work on this project! ...but first I need to refill my nest egg. Therefore I am seeking for a freelance software developer job, either as telework or in North or Middle Germany, any humane topic, in C/C++ or Java, under Unix/Linux or Windows, on PC or embedded.

System Requirements
This document lists the system requirements for running Eagle Mode. Please read carefully.
| CPU: | 3.4 GHz rated (per core), 1 MB cache (per core or shared), one core or more. Examples: Pentium4 3.4 GHz, Athlon 64 3400 2.2 GHz, Athlon X2 4400, Core 2 Duo E4400. This is a recommendation with regard to comfortable, intensive use. Some Eagle Mode users have reported satisfaction with much weaker CPUs. |
| Memory: | 1 GB RAM and 1 GB swap space (or more RAM). This is also a recommendation. If you run Eagle Mode with less memory, then your first job after starting should be to navigate to the Preferences (somewhere in the upper left area of the control view) and lessen the value for Max Megabytes Per View. |
| Disk space: | About 10 MB for installation, 1 GB for temporary files at run-time. |
| Disk type: | Quite fast and without any sleep states (notebook hard disks are not so suitable). |
| OS: | An up-to-date full-featured Linux is highly recommended.
Other UNIX-like systems may also be suitable. Short more or less
successful tests have been made with FreeBSD, OpenSolaris,
Cygwin and Mac OS X 10.5.
API and framework of Eagle Mode have also been ported to Windows (the minimum is Windows 2000 SP2), but several plugin applications are not functioning there, including the file manager. |
| Graphics: | An accelerated graphics driver. On UNIX-like systems it
should be an accelerated X-Server with a fast XShm extension.
3D acceleration is not needed.
It is not recommended to use something like a 3D desktop or composite manager, because that could slow down Eagle Mode a lot. |
| Mouse: | With three buttons (not emulated) and with a smooth-running wheel. |
| Programs & Libraries: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Do not have the wrong program to a name
Eagle Mode runs many standard programs by names like they have on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0. Your system must not have another program with one of those names, otherwise unforeseeable things could happen. For example, Eagle Mode runs "gs" when it means Ghostscript, and therefore you should not have another program named "gs" which, for example, formats the hard disk. In detail, Eagle Mode runs standard UNIX shell commands like "cp", "mv", "rm", "grep" and so on, and it runs the programs listed in the table above. Many of these are run when you just navigate around in Eagle Mode, without asking you. In addition, many further programs (not listed above) are run by triggering the file manager commands. If you are unsure about the later, please study the file manager command scripts (see emFileMan Customization for a description of the scripts).
