Mirko: If there is an early access / developer program for the Ben Nanonote, I and other gNewSense ( http://gnewsense.org ) hackers would be interested in looking at it in order to look at getting gNewSense (a free as in freedom Debian GNU/Linux decendant) working on it. The only one I know of - which is actually free software and (to some extent) hardware - is http://www.qi-hardware.com/products/ben-nanonote/ They hang out on #qi-hardware on freenode irc. I don't know exactly what the timeline to availability is (later this quarter maybe [1]), but they are already testing on real hardware. It is fully supportable by free software, but the only internal wifi solution (3rd party) at this point needs a binary blob (micro-SDIO; couldn't find any Atheros 6k ones). However I think you could use free external USB wifi dongles with it.

I am actually working on the last bits of the ordering and fulfillment system (ordering, invoices etc). We should have more details on all that next week. I ahve no exact date to give you yet, but I can tell you that: We are getting damn close! Stay tuned and keep up the good spirit! /mirko > > --- > Ron K.
