Some exploratory questions, if I may.
1. What is the possibility of running ordinary Linux applications on the DR800. Starting with say xterm, to poke around inside while it is running.

apart from rxvt, take a look at usbnet, as Fehner has already mentioned.

Or am I just being silly?
Thanks again, Jonathan

no, not silly, but nowdays as my scarce free time I always ask myself about benefits vs. efforts.
Some time ago I ported osmo, a good and small calendar, tasks manager, address book and notes program. But now I do it on my (android) mobile phone, it's a bettter device for those tasks.
