[nylug-talk] Manhattan Wireless Question

[Vasiliy Boulytchev]

Bol'shoje Spasibo :)

What do you think about the Sharp Zaurus SL-6000 ?  Is that still in 
use, or has it been replaced.  I would love a linux pda if possible :)

I am looking at the PALM LifeDrive, since it seems to be more of a nice 
PDA.   I wonder if you get get a linux ssh client installed on the beast :)

I wonder, how easy it is to connect to a open access point with such a toy.

THANKS GUYS
