Re: [MLUG] Linux based Internet Appliance

[Aaron Littich <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hello,
I've got one of those Gateway Internet Appliances, i picked it up off ebay
for $70 plus shipping.  It was sold 'as-is' as customer returns, but it
worked perfectly for me when i got it.  I rewrote the Compact flash disk
with my own linux variety, one that runs X, a stripped down fvwm95,
netscape (soon to be opera), and some other junk.  Even the touchsreen on
it works.

I'm thinking about selling it, as i'm in need of some cash for a
speaker-building project. Contact me off the list if interested, or...

Search ebay for these words: "Gateway connected".

Later,
Aaron
