I ended up buying a soekris net4801 + case + power supply + 512 MB compact flash card, and going down the list of distributions designed for it trying to figure out what to do with this really nice hardware now that I had it. I tried pebble linux, m0n0wall, pfsense, and astlinux, I also looked into setting up a stompbox but there is no EVDO or even EDGE in my area so “F†that. I got bored, sold the soekris on ebay and bought a bluetooth keyboard and mighty mouse for my ibook. We officially have two ibooks in the house and my wife couldn’t be happier. Good investment, no more showing her where the openoffice icon is under gnome 2.10. I still need to set up the software raid 5 box as a backup machine + fileserver. As far as finding a phone that sync’s with isync goes…. I’ll wait for the Motorola apple collaboration. Links coming later…
