Hi, I should be getting my iLiad anyday now...

I'm looking to use it as a standalone device, I'm not interested in managing its contents with a pc. After unlocking it, I would like it to be simply another linux box (that I use for reading).

How tightly is it tied to iDS? Are the updates that iRex ship out simply pkgs/scripts/tars that I can apply myself?

Are there certain parts of the OS that are locked down, or could have it boot to terminal if I choose.

Thanks,
rudy
