Don't toss that old UMPC, make it a portable Linux device!

,----[ Quote ]
| Instead of selling his original Samsung Q1 UMPC, TaxMan decided to take the 
| Linux plunge, something I did with Ubuntu in 2006 with mixed results. 
| 
| It just goes to show you what a little Googling and elbow grease can do. 
| TaxMan has the Gutsy Gibbon release of Ubuntu installed and unlike my failed 
| efforts, he has the touchscreen working as well!
