It's not been easy. I've been looking for activity on the Familiar distro and I'm not seeing any since last November. If it's that far behind, I can't drag it all the way forward single-handed. As far as I can see, there's more activity on real Debian ARM Linux running on a big CF card. But if I put a CF sleeve on, I loose my PCMCIA wireless connectivity and my plans to also use it as a mega remote control and armchair surfing device are scuppered. The abandonment would be temporary - just until I can get the necessary hardware and a current Linux distro on my meagre budget. But it does jar having to use Microsoft stuff because the Linux stuff isn't ready yet. Vik :v) ---- "Where did all those effing Indians come from?" - General George A.Custer
