For me the T3 and Linux combination is perfect.
Why?
Because it's the best platform for running Plucker and Jpluck. For those who don't know, Plucker is without doubt the best offline reader for any PDA platform. Features include:
Anti aliased custom fonts.
DIA support on T3.
Newsfeed support via Jpluck.
Easy to use one handed operation.
Jpluck pulls down whatever I want every morning and the T3 syncs it before I commute to work. All I have to do is remember to remove it from the cradle. Of course the other good reason to use Plucker is because it's free.
Interestingly, guess who is a major investor in Altiris? Check this out.
Maybe Kimball will be a bit more carefull this time round as he has already had part of one decision against a Canopy company overturned on appeal. He does seem clued up though.
According to Declan McCullagh the P2P endgame is now approaching and it will be down to congress to sort this out.
He argues convincingly that the law has been changed in the past by congress when copyrights have been seen to be under threat by a judical decision, so we should expect the same thing to happen here.
"Pay attention to the endgame. In the 1994 U.S. v. LaMacchia prosecution, a judge dismissed charges against a 21-year-old MIT student who ran a pirate Internet site, saying that it was not a criminal offense to do so under current federal law. Criminal penalties "should probably attach to willful, multiple infringements of copyrighted software, even absent a commercial motive on the part of the infringer," Judge Richard Stearns wrote. Stearns suggested that Congress step in.
Congress obliged. Three years later, President Clinton signed into law the No Electronic Theft Act, which makes--as I've written about before--copyright infringement a federal crime even if not done for commercial purposes.
"
This is exactly what the judge in the Grokster case has suggested, so expect an RIAA/MPAA sponsored P2P bill in congress sometime soon...

Are you in Las Vegas on the 17th-19th August?
Make you feelings known, drop in at the SCO Forum 2003.
I'm sure SCO representatives will be very happy to answer all of your licensing questions or maybe you just want to hand over your cash in person.
