Actually, I'm typing this into a pictureb ook, which is sitting on my bed,
and broadcasting to the net via a wavelan card. All in about 2.2 lbs. 
Pretty sweet.

The camera works under linux -- Tridge did the driver, and it's getting
better every day. The debian package (in unstable) is named
"picturebook", and it's got about 80% of the functionality of the
windows software for the camera. I plan to regain a 1 gb windows
partition soon.

Probably just one IP, we'll be masq-ing.

Probably not, the window to make CD's between expected release date and
linuxworld is pretty small. Probably a few CDR's is all. Tons of slink
CD's.
