Dear Jon, Think twice :-) I fell in love on paper wth the Zaurus. I tried and tried and tried, read almost everything about how to install, asked this list, got advice, tried them, recompile some modules, tried to redo the kernel, still some missing files, asked the list, got some answers but still missing files ... My Zaurus is a good toy to impress my friend wth ibut I try not to have it by my laptop at the time or I loose face ... Yes I got it working with my mobile phone through IR to grab email. and I succeeded (how ? don't ask) to sync it a couple of time with a Win XP machine, but by sheer luck because it sit stupid now. As with my SuSE box ... no joy, no luck, no nothing There are no negative issues about it, there a BIG ISSUE!!!! (and yes, like everybody with a Zaurus on this list - i think, from what I read ...- I've broken the stylus within 2 days of purchase ...) But I'm sure it's a nice machine. I dream to ssh into my servers from it ... On Thursday September 12 2002 19:13, jfmurphy wrote:
Thinking of purchasing a Zaurus SL5500. Is anyone using it with Suse 8.0, or have any experience with it. There seems to be some negative issues trying to get working well on a Linux desktop. You would think it would really be no problem seeing it's a linux based device.
