Yes, but those of us [planning to] do development have a full debian
install working over NFS to our PCs that allows native compilation, and
tweaking of a running system. It works suprisingly well, although I'm
looking forward to USB networking stabilizing, so I can get off this
115200 PPP NFS link. :)

Heh, yup. I still need to play with the Gtk module, I'd like to see if
I can get that working so I can write GUI stuff.

Yup, with 200Mhz and a decent amount of RAM, it's more like a mini-PC
than it is a PDA. :)
