Hats off to tone007
« on: July 09, 2012, 06:11:49 PM »
Wow!
Could not keep this one private.
I'm playing around with a bootable Debian SD card tone sent me for my Sylvania Smartbook.
What an improvement (over Windows CE).
Its actually usable now and I can recommend this to other users.

Makes me wish I hadn't RMA'd the other back.
Gracias tone dude.
Very cool stuff.

Jim

When I bought it , $39.00 with free shipping.
They've upped the price slightly, but I'd be willing to bet that they'd sell others at this price if approached.

Absolutely!
This thing was a travesty running WinCE.
Wireless networking refused to work.
Everything was impossibly slow.

tone007 has posted the first version of Linux I've seen for this device and it works pretty good.
