         The Sharp Zaurus:  Current State of Affairs
                        Dow Hurst


I plan to explain where the current state of development is on the Sharp 
Zaurus.  I'll give some links and tips on what I've found as a 
productive environment.  And, hopefully some interesting news on what is 
new in the Zaurus world to entertain you.  Do you know what OE is?  Did 
you know that Debian and Gentoo can run on the Zaurus?  Did you know 
that 400MHz really isn't?  And, how you can fix that bug in the 
PXA-250.  I hope to not bore you but explain a bit about how to make the 
Zaurus work for you.  If the hardware works out the presentation may be 
on my Zaurus displayed thru a projector.  We will see about that.

Bio:
Dow Hurst is a chemist/sysadmin working on computer modelling of the 
Cannabinoid receptors.  He never has been interested in a PDA until the 
Zaurus came along.  He has his BS in Chemistry from KSU and has worked 
there in the Chemistry Department for the past 8 years.  Before that he 
was a bench chemist working in the black art of high pressure sealed 
tube chemistry for the refrigeration industry.  He doesn't realize how 
old he is, so still likes play more than work. ;-)  You can email him 
for now at Dow.Hurst at mindspring.com.
