The display is too small. It's size make it useless for anyting other than reding novels in .txt format.

What it needs, is a display the size of a folded (in half) regular sheet of paper. ca 10 inches or so.

A built-in mp3-player is nice, but it is also fluff. What I want, and what I think most college/university student want, is a portable library, of the size of one book.

It needs to be rugged enough not to get totally wrecked by bringing to school, in a backpack, full of other heavy stuff.

--The canges I think it needs:--
-Larger display (ca 10 inches)
-No costly exessive features.
-Rugged enough for the real world
-Affordably priced. Why buy one, if you could buy a notebook computer for the same price?
The easiest linux would probably be ubuntu. Find it at: http://www.ubuntu.com/ Dowload the .ISO -file, and burn it with ISOburn at: http://www.paehl-info.de/cdr/isoburn.zip

Then, pop in the new Ubuntu cd in your box, boot it up, and after a quick install, your ready to go.

It does howerver have some issues with writing to storage-devices using Windows formats, but there is a fix for it, if you use the FAT format. NTFS is not recommended. It is not entirely stable, and could trash your files.

Best of luck:)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
