At LinuxWorld 2007, Palm, the device manufacturer (not the OS manufacturer - that one is now called ACCESS) was showing off a new device called Foleo, a sub-notebook form factor which has a nice 10 inch screen and full size keys. This is a fanless ARM CPU based machine that runs a Linux Kernel and a lightweight Window Manager plus proprietary apps such as Opera, MS Office compatible apps for Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. It also has a VGA out so that you can hook it up to a projector.
The machine also has a SD slot, a CF slot and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I am impressed by the fact that they actually got the embedded part right - no moving parts. I am not sure how hackable it is, but the hackability of this device may make it an attractive mobile device. Some critics argue that its too big for a pocket and too slow to be a laptop. In my opinion, I prefer laptops that don't roast my body parts every time I run an app. As far as mobility is concerned, all I really need is a browser for most of the things I do. A VGA out is a huge plus.

The folks over at FOSSWire have created a simple but valuable cheat sheet for basic commands that we use on a day to day basis.
http://fosswire.com/2007/08/02/unixlinux-command-cheat-sheet/
I had a student asking me yesterday about switches that are placed right after a command in Linux. Well, this is the perfect resource for him. The cheat sheet is available as PDF, so print all you want!!! Additionally, if English isn't your strong point, the sheet is also available in Russian , Spanish , Brazilian Portuguese , Simplified Chinese , Polish and Japanese
