Hi Ryan,
Unfortunately Linux suffered major blows lately regarding PDAs in the news /
reviews. Yes, although I have several WindowsCE/PalmOS/EPOC devices, I still
hope Linux will find it's way on PDAs.
As for the VR6, I don't know, you might be interested in reading what
Brighthand.com had to say about the VR3 :
http://www.brighthand.com/html/otherpdas/agenda_page1.html, doesn't sound
good so far. Last I hear, Yopi was not going to see it through
productions... and the only ones who seems to pull it off might be Compaq :
http://www.handhelds.org/ with their linux-oriented PDA projects including
flashing PocketPC iPaqs with Linux ;) but it's still a risk, you could loose
your device in the process...
But to get back at Rebol, I tried the Change Benchmark available at
www.rebol.org and it (the script not revol) crashed with a stack overflow
??? I wanted to evaluated Rebol's speed under some WindowsCE devices... I'll
have to take a look at the code and see what's the problem...
Best,
Chris

Hey Chris,
I have'nt made a decision, and I still have more research before I do.
Putting
Linux on a Pocket PC is interesting idea though. Actually CE is a
possibility,
and I would like to support it for those applications that just need 64 MB,
those sworn to Microsoft, and a few other instances. The VR6 so far seems
to
fit my essential criteria quite nicely. Even if it was CE, it would be on
top
my list. However, I do personally dislike Microsoft and CE, so the fact its
not
CE is exciting. Of course previously I was'nt pleased that moving to REBOL
meant moving to CE.
