I've been watching the OQO for a couple of years now. The only thing holding me back has been the price. There are a number of similar devices in the UMPC form factor.
I DID buy a mini-pc a couple of years ago that runs Linux and Hercules very well. It's about the size of a CD player, but that has no keyboard or display of it's own. (Similar to a Mac-mini.) It WAS considerably cheaper than an OQO or UMPC though. http://www.boldata.com -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Post Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 1:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Linux community, was Re: Demo of OpenSolaris running on Systemz: oqo >>> On Fri, Nov 30, 2007 at 1:44 PM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Jay Maynard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: -snip- > Has anyone gotten Linux running on it?
