I have not forgotten about the Demo Linux PC. The problem is, after I got all the kinks out of the demo ShuttleX PC (SK41G), I realized it does not have a parallel port. A USB-Parallel converter cost $59.99 at CompUSA, and is not guaranteed to work. This pretty much kills the idea of using t

While Moore's law is now largely irrelevant with respect to CPU speed, it is gaining respect regarding flash memories. And we may see 512 MB or more flash cards becoming norm in the near future. Being to able to be contained in a flash card, complete with applications, is something Linux can
