Um, I've previously had non-firewalled public machines on the net whose last hop was wireless - they had no problem at all running the usual range of service.
I also have an iPAQ running Linux, and part of the reason I like it is that it's more powerful than the Acorn (ARM-powered) workstation I was still using as my main machine a couple of years back.
then you'll get, among other things,
setbrightness [0-254] vaiobat (read battery status)
longrun -f [economy|performance] (set power saving mode; you can also change specific settings)
jogdiald (which I use to get page up/page down events from the jog dial in X)
(Hopefully bits of these will make it into the kernel before much longer.)
This of course led to some really cool things (like tables, frames, and scripting) and some not-so-cool things (like blink, marquee, etc...)
I think you mean, "This of course led to some really cool things (like tables) and some not-so-cool things (like blink, marquee, frames, and scripting, etc...)".
My grandmother didn't even know how to type. (I had to teach her how to get capital letters, for instance.) She's happily using Linux on an old laptop of mine for email now, and hasn't had any problems.
In this case there was certainly a big advantage in being able to tie the system down - there's no way for her to stop things working accidentally, which is helpful when she lives in a different country from me.
Over here in the UK, free (as in beer) internet service providers are the big thing - every high street store is announcing one of its own, and there are lots of new companies with a free ISP as their sole business plan.
So, since it's now believed that computers magically generate money without customers needing to pay anything, perhaps Transmeta could be the firm semiconductor company to follow the trend by giving away their products?
Bach's one of the more recent composers whom I'd often choose to listen to while coding. At the moment I'm tending towards the fifteenth century - Josquin and Dufay are current favourites.
Of course, it's quite immaterial really, since once I'm locked into coding I generally stop being aware of any music. That's one thing that counts against longer works - missing half a symphony spoils the rest when I finally 'wake up' to it again. Shorter pieces, like Dowland songs, can be a good solution here, although it's still irritating if I realise I've missed the piece I put the disk on for, and that the CD's now stopped....

There's also the BOA web server if you prefer.
You just haven't looked hard enough.... :-)
apt-get install picturebook longrun jogdiald
or download from

Have you seen the Sony C1 series? Light, easily fit in a backpack, run Linux well.... The screens are 1024x480.
Like this one, you mean?

HTH, HAND.
Use Debian.
APT downloads all the packages needed (and will remove conflicting packages if necessary), and then sets them all up in the right order.
Or you might want to upgrade everything on your system:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
They did - there's a link to the rest of the site on that page.

I still tend to pronounce $ 'string' in programs too. Even in Perl, which seems to upset some people....
A poll at the BBC needs you....

But how large a harddisk do I need for, say, 400 full-length CDs?
