I'd like to try one, but I'm a Linux moron.

Did you check www.linuxio.org?

Do I get the impression you can work on and program it from a telnet window in windows? Thanks for the link.

linuxio.org has a ZIP file (actually a tar.bz2 file) with all the tools and instructions you need to compile and load programs into the Linux brain. The Linux brain becomes PC-like, or PDA-like, where you can write your own code and in many cases find somebody else's code to run. If you are new to Linux, there is a learning curve. Many commands are similar to platforms you are already familiar with. That tar.bz2 file has a readme that will guide you through steps, from power-up, to I/O access, to recompiling and running a C program. You'll need a Linux PC for development, and that readme file explains more.

Ok, sounds like something I've been procrastenating over for years. I have some extra PCs to use for a set up, I'll have to get a copy of Linux and start hacking away. I am somewhat familiar with C but it has been years since I took some classes. Thanks for the tips.

Has anyone used any other programming languages besides C? I saw linuxio.org states Java. Anyone had any luck/experience with this or any others?
