How long did it last without the AC adapter plugged in?

Hahaha, not tried that.

I did consider, since it has Apache installed, running it as a web server. With a 32/mb/ CF card 'disk'. Then thought better of it.

I... don't know. Might be able to coax a proper linux install on there. Maybe.

But no, this is just the default OS (Linux kernel + busybox + some graphical shit).

I think this is realistically the most 'recent' thing you can get on there, and even that needs a bit of fucking around: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/

I was saying there is! Wiki says so, or at least for some models.

Oh :D

If it extends down to my model I might give that a pop one day when I'm incredibly bored.

It's fucking weird using a decide with no net, though. Only ways to get it networked are via USB networking or a CF Wifi card :'D
