Forget the PSP-- If the lessons learned from GBA are any indication, this little system is going to kick ass! And it finally looks like we'll be able to get *decent* graphics on a handheld for once. I just might get one.
I have a decked out AMD Duron 800mhz, 384mb SDRAM, and a 20gig 5400rpm hd running slackware and a customized fluxbox. EXTREMELY responsive for what I do, looks great, tough as nails, and will last me years, like a retired race horse.
But if Joe-sixpack walks into best buy, and sees one of these 'decked out' machines running a slightly less flashy windows 98 (or any basic gui...) whats he gonna think? Will Joe-sixpack realize that he can turn it into a race horse in under a couple of hours?
No!--Too much hassle. He doesn't want to be bothered when he get err..reasonable eye candy and responsiveness in a standard fat-ass 3ghz racehorse that drinks more power than his refrigerator.
Slashdotters should be happy that people are dumb enough to throw money in the river. More for us..

Why choose "yoper" when you have the almighty slackware?!
[i]the only thing it lacks is the number of contributers.. comon people.. get in while its hot.. add more brains to this project and make it what it should be.[/i]
I've got a better idea: Move the yoper brains over to another distro with similar goals (ie, Ubuntu)

Sounds like fun http://simcitysphere.com/
No surprise. It can do many things that IE and other browsers can't..ie PNG transparency. http://simcitysphere.com/
