Cool, Gibbo, thanks. Found that after I posted -- I was hoping for a secret stash!

On that note, is there anyone reading this that would be interested in working with me on getting Jaunty and GPE/Matchbox onto this? I'm okay with stuff, no programmer -- just not intimidated, but not sure about ARM at all.

I want to use this as a super-PIM, sketchbook, notepad, etc. as well as eBook reader (Gotta get FBReader 10!) The lightweight embedded apps should make the interface a lot more snappy, plus they do what I want, and they talk to each other. Having a full distribution underneath will let me add anything at all -- won't be as dependent on a single group of developers. It oughta be the best of both worlds. GPE has some great-looking apps that are very hard to find in Ubuntu/Debian (although lots of them are available, of course.

Eventually, I hope I get it to the point where I walk into my home, and everything syncs wirelessly without any action on my part -- ebooks, schedules, everything. If I get really good, and get an always-on server, anytime I'm in wifi range, I'll be synced.

Pop me a PM if you care to collaborate, or even have some good advice.
