"Always use the latest release."
This isn't always necessarily true. Sometimes an increment in wine versions breaks apps that worked fine in the previous version. This is true with Cedega as well.
Or a Sony Clie.
Sony Clie's thumbwheel design is wonderful, and it's one thing I missed whilst using my HP Jornada in the past year or so. They tie it in beautifully with the UI (a tad slow, but still more than good enough for most uses.)
As well as the S360. Also, their customer support won't rip your hindside out for running Linux on it, so long as you reinstall Windows before you ship it off if something breaks. I know from personal experience. Only piece of hardware on my Sony Vaio S260 that fails to work is the MemoryStick reader. Big whoop. Other than that, AWESOME laptop.
Thats slightly different. We are talking about NETWORK SERVICES. Last time I checked, crond, getty, and login don't open network sockets. Certainly not network sockets on any external interface. My laptop has no open ports on it. Whatsoever. And yet I find it quite productive. GDM runs quite nicely on it, and the entire thing operates quite hassle-free.
I sent this same basic concept in as (part of) my entrance paper to Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science a few months back, and I had never seen this idea or anything like it. Yes, this is perhaps irrelevant, but I'm slightly annoyed. Especially considering I was turned down to go to Mass Academy and apparently the idea may have marketable potential.
I've been searching for an internet-enabled light OS like this for my laptop, which is just shy of being able to boot any Linux distributions. Does anyone know how difficult it will be to get it to support my PCMCIA network card?
Where does one draw the line at what to call a PDA? I personally view that little device as more of a laptop. I look at PDA's as cheap things to keep addresses on, store books, and other simple things.
Something like this falls closer to the laptop category to me. Now if only I could boot Linux on it, I would be all over it.

I haven't noticed this. What with the patent assault they seem to be preparing for.
Where do I sign?
Do they have a virtual boyfriend model too?
