Mini-Linux PC Review (from a N800 hater...)

[BOFH]

Analysis -- Over at our sister site LinuxDevices, we're always looking at small, embedded-Linux systems. While reviewing Freespire recently on a Mini koobox, an Apple Mini-sized system, I began to wonder, Just how small do full-featured, Linux-powered PCs come?

When I say full-featured, don't mean Internet tablets, like the Nokia N800, or PDAs (personal digital assistants), such as Palm's Foleo mobile companion. No, what I wanted to see were real desktops or laptops that I could fit into a coat pocket. Here's what I found.

WOW! The n800 sits on the lips of many...

I don't see where the n800 hating comes in. I see where the author mentions the n800 as an Internet Tablet (calling it otherwise has sparked many a controversy in the past), and differentiates it from the units he is reviewing.

Has this author bashed IT's in the past or something? I think I am missing the point.

i keep seeing people dismiss the N800 for its use of a ARM cpu rather then a X86, and therefor cant run X86 compiled apps.

what i find funny is that the article talks about the eeepc at one point. thats quite some coat pockets ;)
