Still waiting for my SheevaPlug. The website mentions the 11th of August as the delivery day, so with a bit of luck I should get it by Friday...maybe. Not sure what I'll be using it for, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. If I can get ARMedslack running on it, without totally screwing everything up, I'll be happy.
They (whoever "They" are) say it's a virtue. Not that I've ever been keen on virtues, but I am more patient now than I used to be. Which is ironic, really. The older you get, the less time you have left, so you should be less patient.
I'm sat here like a kid waiting for Christmas, waiting for two parcels to arrive: my Slackware T-shirt + "official" DVD, and my Sheevaplug. If I could wear my Slackware T-shirt while installing ARMedslack on the Sheevaplug, that would be...

And began the installation process (see here, from about 4.1) at about 9.20 AM. It is now 3.15 PM and it's just got as far as the t package series. Let us all pray that I do it right this time. Amen.
When I first read about the Sheevaplug months ago, I thought it looked like a useful little gadget. Then recently I read this interview with Stuart Winter, and got even more interested. So, without considering the fact that I can't swim, I dived in at the deep end. I've ordered a Sheevaplug, and while I'm waiting for it to arrive, I installed ARMedslack in QEMU. I haven't exactly timed it, but doing a full Slackware install on a HDD takes around 30 minutes, ARMedslack in QEMU took about 7 hours....
