Hmm... I have nmap in my kindle. I did not know the kindle has Intel Inside... Can I run Windows7 in my kindle?

Of course, if my kindle had PPC inside, I would just run the PPC port of nmap instead.

Seriously now, you can get a PPC version of nmap here (along with other architectures): http://pkgs.repoforge.org/nmap/ That was just to prove that PPC versions exist. Realistically, you are MUCH better using crosstools to build it from source (like most linux apps) using the "./configure; make" approach (or a native build on the target platform). There would doubtedly be a learning curve, but the point is that it is not only for intel...

You can convert the .rpm to a .deb with alien (which I also had installed in my kindle).
