Any Zaurus users here?

Hi!

The 5500 comes shipped with ROM 2.38. You can download ROM 3.1 which is 
the same one that the 5600 uses.
After doing it, basically you will have a 5600 without some extra 
hardware features like the built-in speakers, but depending on the use 
you will be giving the Zaurus, you may agree that these ones are not 
worth the  extra price . Check the details here :

A lot of people is replacing these ROMs with Opie's OpenZaurus, which 
looks and feels great according to the reviews I've seen. Check it at 
http://www.opie.us/   and  http://www.openzaurus.org

The Zaurus is an amazing little Linux box.  In mine, I have an Apache + 
PHP web server running with MySQL (yes, everything is installed there).  
BusyBox, ' the Swiss Knife of Embedded Linux'  allows you to use  most 
GNU utilities in the Zaurus command line, so you won't miss your usual 
desktop (http://www.busybox.net/). You can check the impressive array of 
utilities available for the Z at http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/

Some of us are in the Toronto Zaurus user group forum 
(www.zaurususergroup.com) it is a recently created community and so far 
we have around five registered users.
