I disagree, OpenZarus is a fine OS, and I personally have Kismet,
Wellenreiter, Nmap, tcpdump etc running on my 5500.
Yes battery life is a problem, you can get around that by having a car
charger (15 Oz $)
or a battery extender detailed here
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=reviews/batextend
from page
"Summary: The extender let me take the battery life from 2 hours to
about 7 hours and 45 minutes. That's one hell of a wardrive/warwalk.
If you want to use the Zaurus as a mobile hack tool get an extender."
cheers
