Linux PDA Resurfaces in U.S.

An anonymous reader writes "A high-end Linux-based Sharp Zaurus PDA thought to be discontinued in the US is actually available from two sources. The SL-6000L is available from stock from 10East, a seller of vertical market systems for the railroad industry which has established a direct manufacturing relationship with Sharp Japan, it says. The Wi-Fi equipped SL-6000L is also available in single quantities from SDG Systems, which, incidentally, is porting Linux to several PDAs that normally run Windows, including the super-rugged TDS Recon."

Dude. You're talking about the crowd that "buys" things via BitTorrent. The /. crowd might melt their web server but it won't take all their stock, unless there is a way to download it without paying...

Oh my god! They posted a story that you don't care about. I guess timothy forgot to run it by you before approving it this time. What were they thinking? I mean, it even says on the front page: "News For jmcmunn. Stuff that matters (to jmcmunn)."

Only how do I see how terrible slashdot is. All those people that complain about every single article are so right. I guess the only thing to do now is make empty threats about leaving then reloading every five minutes to see if anyone responded.
