Description:

    Several handheld computers are on the market that run(or can be made to
    run) Linux. In this talk, Bob will discuss the differences between
    Linux on the desktop and on these little devices. He will compare
    models from Compaq/HP, Sharp and Nokia, the different window managers,
    and show some of the applications available. Bob has owned a few
    different handhelds and will bring a couple of them to demonstrate.
    Some technical points regarding Linux on small systems will also be
    brought up.


We are always looking for speakers, so if you or anyone you know
would like to give a presentation to a group of friendly nerds please
