  spent the last 3 days at FSOSS/linuxfest at seneca college, and one
of the organizers and i got to talking about ARM systems, and he
pointed me at this:

  http://trimslice.com/web/

looks seriously cool and might be fun to experiment with, but i recall
reading as i was surfing that one of its drawbacks is that it doesn't
support playing flash.

  i'm confused -- how could that be a hardware issue?  or am i just
being dense?  in any event, i'm interested in others' opinions of this
as an ARM development and goofing around platform.

p.s.  my buddy from red hat, jon masters, mentioned he has an
ARM-based netbook, a toshiba, but he didn't have it with him.  so
another option is just a regular ARM netbook.
