The settlement allows Microsoft to keep Linux out of the schools. (Remember, Apple's successful strategy of flooding schools with cheap Apple computers.)
... and neither do governments, yet the organizations have far more power than human meat units, who at least have a soul (that they often indescriminately sell to corporations and governments)....
I am hoping that a Linux PDA will offer
Linux features (not available on WinCE),
like perl! And, would love to have my perl
Linux/Win-compatible PIM on a palmtop device.
However, I understand the Sharp Linux PDA
does not come with perl, and I do not know
how difficult it would be to load perl.

Of course, you would have to do major re-thinking, and make compromises in some places; but how about perl?
It is fully portable, fast enough for most apps, bug free; and, you will complete the job 3 times as fast if reasonably fluent in perl.

Any thoughts on this?
