LinuxHardware.org: Agenda VR3 Developer Edition Preview (Mar 31, 2001, 20:03)
"The Agenda is very well designed, and a joy to use. It is great
fun to have a handheld running the same OS as my desktop. It really
is Linux. There is a complete set of GNU like tools, which is
actually Busybox's "Swiss Army Knife" of tools in a single
executable. It still feels the same, due to careful aliasing. By

shell, ash. But Bash 2 is installed and you can easily configure it
to be your default shell by changing the /etc/passwd file."

and we depend heavily on rapidly evolving technologies such as
Bonobo and Mozilla. So we're proud of the product we've shipped,
and we're listening to the feedback, and we're committed to
addressing the concerns we've heard over the next few
releases."

MachineOfTheMonth: A look at Killustrator from KDE (Mar 31, 2001, 12:00)
"What is Killustrator? Well, Killustrator is supposed to be a
vector-based graphics design product that you can use on the Linux
platform. This being said, how useful it will be to you is an open
question because the product does not appear to be perfect yet. It
appears to be a work in development."
