It's not so much that you can reconfigure an FPGA in the middle of a program, but that you can configure the logic hardware to output the answer of some problem as a hardware rather than software program. Basically speaking, a hardware implementation will beat a software implementation for speed any day... (Hence why a hardware webserver, as mentioned above vastly outperforms a software based solution)
Bleh...
I've been tracking it on my laptop for weeks mate - this is a nice OS.
I used to use debian for the CLI package management features, but i'm getting pretty used to URPMI, it's just as good as APT as far as i can see.
