Scott, thanks for your thoughts. Embedded Linux systems are of great interest 
to me. With my Networking Engineering background I know
that many network equip vendors are running Linux now. I've tinkered around a 
bit w. DDRT and OpenWRT. Robotics is also interesting as I have
a background in electronics too. 

I once thought about building a bunch of Linux boxes running diff distros, 
networking them together, and then start tinkering with all the neat
apps and tech. Maybe I should do this and create a web page documenting the 
stuff I've done.
