I currently have one of them running FreeBSD 4.3-snap-something as my dialup gateway to the Internet connected to a wireless access point via USB, the built in modem and the Ethernet/USB work fine. I did it just for the fun of it (and because I already had the Iopeners), using the SMC wireless Barricade with a modem may be a lot easier for a newbie for maybe about the same price. Having installed the jailbait and midori on the Sandisk, my next project is to install picobsd on the Sandisk, I like FreeBSD a lot better than the others. Any hints?, I'll follow the instructions for solid state devices on www.freebsd.org, lets see what happens... For those with the video problem on startup, there is a "patched" BIOS that solves this problem. I don't have the URL at this moment, but is easy to find at the linux-hacker site.
