No cradle.  Have to just hook it to ac adaptor, but there is a little
metal stand on the back that pops up and stands it up like a picture
frame.

Can't run slimfx till I do the manual Flash 9 upgrade.  Someone on this
forum posted that they had slimfx running on it.  I will keep u posted.

It is indeed fedora 4 linux based running the pepper "keeper" gui.
