I think it's a great idea as well. I would be willing to help out testing
it!

I thought they had a limited supply of these (just 30, I think) and they
were all gone?

I'd use my 720 far, far, far more than I do now if it ran Linux instead of
Windoze. Right now, it gets used maybe once every 3 months when I'm away
from
base and a server or something goes wrong.

I'd use it for writing shell scripts, code, email, the lot.

That's a great idea and if I could get Linux running on my 720, I'd
gladly help out.
