Well, latest and greatest it isn't. I bought it because it was cheap in
a clearance sale and had 'doze on it, which I needed for 5 minutes to set up
a GPRS modem. (Actually, it turned out I didn't need it after all...).
By my standards, it is recent (my next most modern is the IBM 600E)
Anyway, suggestion noted: I'll start with the kernel and move on to the
alsa driver if necessary.
Thanx,
