One of the requirements of being able to sue for IP infringement is your ability to prove that you have consistently defended your IP. SCO clearly hasn't done this and so any judge will likely rule that they have forfeited the right to do so now.
Looks like they have a 2GB version now, but I'm wondering if that would be enough. Given that WinXP + Office takes up about 1.75GB all by themselves I'd think 4GB is probably the sweet spot. Even Linux is getting pretty beefy on disk, especially with all the kernel dev packages, KDE/GNOME, etc.
I suppose you could get a 2GB SanDisk for your boot/swap drive and then put in one of their 2GB PC Cards (Type II slot) for apps and such. Add a wireless adapter and you're all set. Anyone know if the PC Cards will work under Linux?
The problem I'd like to solve is the excessive noise and limited speed of mechanical laptop HDDs. I would also imagine a SSD would require less power and produce less heat than a traditional HDD.
Really though, just wanted to see if anyone is doing it and whether it makes sense to spend $1/mb for it.:)
