At this retail, it is almost disposable. Its ARM based and comes with windows CE, people seem to have managed to get linux onto it [1] But, as these kind of devices generally have no (normal and able to boot from USB) BIOS, and just load the OS right from ROM they can be horrid to get alternative OS's on. There are quite a few different ones around, if you can find one that is already running some kind of Linux, getting debian on there wouldn’t be so hard ;) > Thanks > <snippy> [1]http://devio.us/~nextvolume/via_arm/viewtopic.php?id=4&t_id=41 ------ Regards, Angus Hedger Debian GNU/Linux User PGP Public Key 0xEE6A4B97
