Hi John,
always with the hard question!
hmmmmm, I was thinking about this after the person who inspired my
question earlier asked about what qualified as a laptop.
I am going to change it a bit, because I can (after all I am the judge
jury and organiser of this ;-)).
If I can type uname -a on an input device and I can read an output that
looks to me like the linux program is running there, then hey that is
the pint winner.
However to make the game a little harder.
The device must be upstairs!
Two classes of entry:
handheld device
mini laptop/notebook/ full on laptop
(one pint in each class)
Regards
Paul
