I didn't get a good enough look at it and was unble to ask him questions, but it got my curiousity piqued. I want to get myself a hand-held computer, nad since it looks like it might be possible, am interested in running fBSD on it. Does anyone out there know of resources I can tap? I'm currently looking at Sharp Mobilon, NEC Mobile Pro, (the new)IBM Workpad z50, and the IBM Thinkpad 240 (which looks more like a ultra-small laptop but is more than I want to spend right now) Any help would be great. I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, so please cc me in any replies you make. If anyone knows anything about running That Other free unix on hand-helds I'll read that, too. Thanks, -Dean Unscrabler of eggs.
