Zaurus, my little Linux Server

    I was going to wait to post until I finished my latest project, but I couldn't help but laugh (geek-ily) as I got an ssh login to work on a Zaurus SL-5500. Now that I can vpn into the office, I have the Zaurus I am working on set up at the office in its cradle and I can ssh into it remotely to do the rest of the configurations I wanted. This is nuts, right?

    All I can say is that this is one of the cheapest mini database servers I have ever built ($250.00). From an environmental standpoint it is a slam-dunk, too - very low power consumption and extremely compact. Ahhh... the joys of success! If I get a chance, I am going to run some load tests on it to see the results. I would also like to tweak apache a bit - but I need to learn how to compile software for the Zaurus first. (Anyone with good references, please let me know.) Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
