I read this thread and wanted to ask you guys what do you think of this. I didn't like it.<br>

Microsoft just lost me. My next computer and PDA will be Linux Mandrake and Palm.

If all that is true, I know I'm not so eager to upgrade anymore. Point for Casio owner's I guess. One of the charms of the iPAQ just got trashed.<br>And about Linux, on a PPC could it be as stable as WinCE? Could we have the same resources that WinCE gives us? And what about third party programs?

I'm going to base my response on my knowledge primarily of desktop Linux installations. But, yes, Linux has the potential to be far more stable than Windows has ever been. Desktop installations are rock hard, comparitively. Third party software could get a tad tricky, I think. We're starting to see more and more Linux software available, and it's now being used in some major industry applications. So, if it starts taking off, I think we'll start seeing a good amount of third party participation. <br><br>If we don't start seeing it, rest assured that most of what you'll ever need will be written by one of your Linux counterparts, and it will be open source - so you won't have pay anything anyhow. :) <br><br>It's kinda funny..almost all new Linux distros come with three or four of every type of program that a standard professional uses (games excluded, though those are numerous), so third parties just add a little more detail to each of them.<br><br>Now, taking this all over to PocketPC? I dunno. I keep monitoring and a few others for new info. It sounds like they're good stuff. I still haven't gotten the balls together to install Linux on my PPC..but I'm sure I will soon. :) This article, talks about it a tad.

That's the problem. I've read all sorts of praise to Linux, but nobody ever said "I use Linux and here's what I think about it on my PPC". I even downloaded a version, but it's still on my HD waiting to be installed.

Wow! If you install it, let me know. <br><br>Incidentally, though, I've seen lots of reviews of people that have it installed, and are happy with it. Evidently, the install can be tricky for inexperienced PPC users, but once it's in...I hear it's golden. :) <shrug><br>

It's just what I said: "I've read it's golden" or "It's said to be good". Nobody here ever installed it and tried it out for real?

I just read that USB is not supported on the Linux install yet.<br><br>Damnit. Guess we'll be waiting at least a little longer.
