As I got tired of debugging, I travelled into internet, and found Lindows Mobile PC, which may be nice also to Plan 9. However, I cann't figure it out whether it has 3 button mouse pad. It looks like so... 12.1" 1024x768 TFT VIA C3 933 MHz Processor, <--- what's that?
An x86 compatible processor made by VIA. It has poor FPU performance but reasonable integer performance. It's basically an i686 but with a semi implemented CMOV instruction.
VIA VT8606(Twister-T) + VT82C686B chipset, Savage 4 AGP (which Russ's favurite chip?), Realtek 10/100 LAN chip, 20GB ATA HDD Lindows3.0 OS <---- what's it?
A Linux derived OS
10.43x8.66x0.91" AND 2.9lbs (1.6kg)!
any opinion?
well if I was in the market for a laptop, I might well buy one...
however, what I'd really like is a light enougth pad computer - all that I've seen so far are too heavy.
