Good information.

Has existed, I believe. Died off. There is NetBSD stuff for ARM. The most useful ARM box was a Netwinder. A friend had one running diskless and velcro'd to the back of a flat screen. Died off into server only configurations from Rebel.com

The zaurus? It's a PDA. Runs Linux. There is also "open zaurus" which is an open source build you can put onto the PDA. Linux also, but it's handy to "reverse engineer" to the hardware a bit.

Me? The PDA is as useful as the apps running on it. Having a marginal PDA like the Z means I don't get a TON of software (though it DOES have a Palm Emulator :). Running a marginal PDA with an OS that 50 people are using makes it, essentially, a one-off device. Received on Thu Sep 11 13:48:58 2003
