Compiling from scratch would be insane. The easiest way to accomplish this would be to put cross compiling tools on a host machine and build your iPAQ or whatever in a chrooted environment. After which you would transfer your build.

You know that is a good point. Its hard to find new small drives theses days. There are good reasons to wanting smaller drives too... like less time to defrag/fdisk/fsck. I wonder if we could put in a petition to companies like seagate and tell them to make at least one small drive.
Perhaps its not cost efficient with newer technology?
Hi Craig, I'm curious on the future of the Google Search Appliance. It seems like a good solution to help a company index millions of documents to be easily searchable, however have you considered tayloring it to be a drop in solution for database indexing and searching. Many companys have products that deal with data mining through millions of records on relational databases could benefit from Google's technology.
I have converted from Mandrake to Debian as well (and I'm very happy I did!). I figured this would be a good place to link the Debian CD page: http://www.debian.org/CD/. Debian's minimal bootable CD is a great idea for those who like to keep a CD handy. You download about 37 MB, burn it to a CD (or a buisness card size CD!), and from there you can do a Debian netinstall... just downloading what you want.

How were you ripped off? I'm curious about this? I've only used pay pal to buy things on ebay a few times and I never had a problem. How ever I've never used it to recieve money.

Best wishes to the both of you.
I doubt the great leader is GWB. My interpretation for the great leader would be none other than the good ol' United States of America.
