A lightweight, hopefully open-source friendly device based on ARM/RISC where I wouldn't WANT to run WINE, because I didn't get Linux to run Windows.


1. This is the year of the snowpocalypse. Getting very hot should be a selling point.

2. It's supposed to last up to six hours on a charge. That's been about the time between snow storms.

3. You have 2,767 posts on the maemo message board. That means your being sterile or not sadly will have no impact on your chances for reproduction.

4. Aww, I played with Linux for 10 years and never found it worth the hard drive space. I tried to switch a few times in early 2010 when my XP install was screwed up but I was broken by the experience (curse all rolling distros!) and almost driven into the arms of Windows 7. I decided to give it one more chance, go to Distrowatch and starting from #1, find the highest-ranked distro I hadn't tried or heard bad things about. I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 as a test on July 18th, and I've been "testing" it without going back into XP since. Being able to run an old Windows 98-era game that was impossible to run stably under XP was a major selling point for me. In fact, it used to crash when I first played it under real Windows 98! I don't know what "angry birds" are like, but they sound nasty. I'd rather have classic Windows adventure games in my pocket.
