sharp zaurus w/suse

Hi Wizards, There are among you those who have in hand one of those niffty Sharp Zaurus linux handhelds.. I just put one on order , but have a question I can't seem to sniff out an answer for. Which desktop seems the best in terms of speed, and which of the two would you consider the easiest to use . ( Not really the same question, tho it might have the same answer.<g>) has anyone tried the IR for connecting w/ box or to a printer? ONE other thing.. has anyone actually used it w/ an ethernet connection ? How about getting email and other messages on the road? TIA all you brilliant folk .. j afterthought BAD COMMAND. bad, bad command. sit! stay! staayy ...
