Wow! That was a lot of replies, and all of it was what I wanted to hear My 5500 should be in the mail soon, and I\'ll start shopping around for that WiFi card. In the end, I got one for $160USD + $35 S/H, so I\'m paying around $255CAD before the border decides I have too much money lol. To Ganoe though - because of my limited finances, I don\'t anticipate ever getting more than one CF card, so I could pretty much solder that WiFi card in place and call it a slow SL6000, ergo no swapping problems. It\'s good to hear about those kernel options being available for the 5500 - I can recall reading about the CF_SYNC problem and the low throughputs people were getting on SD. Reminds me of my HDDs on my LFS box before I realized my IDE module can\'t be compiled as a module, and that hdparm defaults to \'safe\' (as in, safe for a 386 with a broken motherboard). I think I\'ll be adventurous and go for compiling GCC 3.3.1 for my 5500 - I still admittedly don\'t understand why portions of the Linux community keep clinging on to 2.95, I\'ve been compiling my kernels and everything with 3 for a good while now. I think I\'d really like to try getting the X11 desktop to work on my Zaurus though. One of my anticipated uses (one way or another) is to be able to use my Zaurus as a remote control for my PC (ie multimedia centre). No more getting up to change the song, turn down the volume, or pause a movie If I can\'t pull that off though I\'ll just add some TCP/IP control code to JuK and NoAtun, then make a quicky java app for the Zaurus to do the control. In any case, thanks for all these informative (if not directly related ) posts!
