Also, if you want something bigger than a PDA but smaller than a laptop, there is a lot of work on getting Debian to run on a Psion. There are already prototypes that can run Gnome and Gnumeric. Try looking under embedded Debian. Don't forget that Palm are looking at a Linux kernel and their PalmOS5 isn't that difficult to use on GNU systems due to the excellent pilot-link (!). My Palm PDA cost under £150 - it's about the cheapest sensible PDA that is still extendable and reasonably robust. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
