The Xburst (mipsel) based things including the Elonex ONEt, the Maplin
CNM minibook, the Trendtac Epc700 and the Alpha 400. Also the Elonex ONE
(that is the £99 laptop with the removable keyboard). The ONE has a
processor that lists itself as a 486 in /proc/cpuinfo. I think some ARM
based devices such as the Nokia 810 might run as a 'single user'
I am doing a bit of work towards putting a sensible operating system
(debian mipsel) on the Elonex ONEt. The default operating system is
fairly simple and pretty and "consumers" love it, but it isn't geek
friendly at all!
