                       --- Meeting Highlights ---

* Topic: Linux on Handhelds
  A hot topic these days is Embedded Systems, and how Linux can be used
  with them. One platform that shares many of the concerns of embedded
  systems -- relatively weak CPU's, limited system resources, lack of
  traditional input devices, etc. -- are Handheld Computers (PDA's, etc.).

  Join special guest speaker Alexander Guy, one of the lead developers for
  the "Familiar" handhelds distribution (http://familiar.handhelds.org/)
  as he answers questions about Linux on handhelds, and the Familiar
  distribution.

  Also... a brave SBLUGer has stepped forward and volunteered his Compaq
  iPaq handheld computer, so we will be doing an actual install of Linux
  on a handheld device!
