'Ere ..... about this Linux malarkey.
If I have a Computer, a laptop and a mini laptop jobbie that all use windows, albeit different versions, anybody that uses the PC will soon be easily trotting round the laptop or Netbook. Same thing if they have only used a PDA with Windows, using a full size PC will soon be second nature.
OK, I can visualise a time when Linux has progressed a bit and will do all that I want it to do to the point where I could trust it all to work perfectly on a full size computer but the question is, will the same software (or as near as makes no nevermind, work on a much smaller device?
I'm thinking of the Zaurus SL-C3100 or even a Zaurus SL-5600. Will they be able to run a version of Linux with the look and feel of, say, Ubuntu which has a vaguely recognisable front end, to Windows users?
