[linux] Sharp Zaurus for sale

[Mark L. Chang]

What's the problem with the unit? Not that I'm a good judge of that,
since I just sold mine two days ago :).

If you don't want a classic PDA, you don't really need to use it as
such. I used it as a tiny web server for a while, as a wireless network
sniffer, etc.

What do you do on the console that you can't do on the Z?
