You too eh?
Yeah...I hadn't really got my feet wet with lnux before the n800/n810 ...
For me too it was the device that really made me change to using linux...
I think it was easier because of the tablets.. to learn linux...but that is my view...

Its in 2 pieces ...held together with a rubber band ...and STILL it works !
hahaha...
yeah baby!
That is a good build for a device.

I still use mine...but I have thought of gutting one and seeing if I could get a banana pi ...or some such ...running inside an n810...
I think it would be a fun experiment ..and if it worked ...give the device a real jump in variety of new stuff to run on it...
(Unfortunately I would be more like Dr Frankenstein's 2nd cousin removed ...as far as my technical ability to see a success in such a weird endeavour..)
