It is something I’d like to get working at some point though. As you say, it’s a good idea – especially as I’ve now got a redundant power button…

I'd love to run Linux on it (still tossing up between Ubuntu and Gentoo though....) for the development environment, but it'd be a shame to give up (what sounds like) some pretty cool functionality. Now for the interminable wait for it to be delivered..... ;) Peter Hi Laura – glad to hear you’ve had good experiences getting Linux up on the Samsung; I’ve just placed an order for the same red model :)
