Jay Leno has a video showing his RE-5 on his web site. He calls it an
elegant solution to a question nobody asked. But atleast back then companies
were willing to take a stab at making untried technology work. Now it seems

I tried linspire and freespire a few years back. didn't care for them much.
The GUI they come with by default is KDE which i've also never been fond of.
I prefer the gnome gui. Ubuntu is also available with KDE interface if you
like (KUbuntu).

You should try one of those 600cc V-twin Hawk GT's. More fun than anybody
should have on a bike. Stay off the interstate though. Blow around in cross

Prime time ? I think that Linspire might be. I used it a couple of years ago
(before my BB connection problem) and liked it's GUI. My problem with it was no
native support for SCSI.

Almost all new routers support it. Whenever it reconnects and gets a new
dynamic IP it pings the DynDNS service and lets it know, that service then
