,----[ Quote ]
| Back in July, Jonathan Corbet lamented that
| Amazon was making the Kindle an unattractive
| hacking target for Linux users. The comments
| to his article suggested having a closer look
| at OpenInkpot, a fairly new Linux distribution
| for e-book readers. This much in advance: It
| doesn't run on the Kindle. Not yet, anyway.
