I use mac and windows for newton but use linux for net apps and such
and am knowlagable about linux but not newton apps for linux I will
look into it but creating a live distro or modding another might be a
bit out of my league. I wonder if their are people on the list that
use linux as a platform for connecting that might give us an idea of
what apps to include ect.. I also wonder if I can get NCU to work with
a live windows XP distro. I have built many of them for
troubleshooting systems with that will not boot from HD. I am going to
try to build a Windows XP PE build with NCU I will let you know how it
goes.
