Dear KDE develpers,

I recently joined the list.  

I am interested in Linux for portable, wearable and instrumentation \
computers.  I use KDE (and currently  attempting the herculian task to port \
Windows DAS software -with the minefield of proprietary libraries  (using \
matchmaker AMCC5933 to Linux/KDE).   Linux implementations on  \
application-tailored  cpu's (i,e, some with integrated pci controller etc) \
for wearable and instrumentation applications  would certainly  make for \
easy and interesting instrumentation and pda applications.  Being so \
impressed with KDE  I hope KDE it will have a part to play in  this \
emerging  area of linux implementation.  

I thus hope the rest of this message is not out  of place here but ... 

I would like to bring to the  attention of the KDE developer groups    \
linux-ce  where some exiting  ports of linux to traditional  windows-ce  \
(cpu's) and devices are underway.   As a fan of linux and KDE ,  I beleive \
there there is probably a need for  input on GUI from arguably the premier \
linux-GUI group::

(a) the  main cite is www.linuxce.org   

however only on the archive of  mailing show the recent interesting \
developments.  These are on

(b)    www.linuxce.org/mailing-list/linux-devel/archives/mailist.html

Then there are also two  recent  win-ce devices  (using a RISC cpu  a \
version fo which linux has just been ported to) and thus  of much potential \
to  linux-ce  (and hopefully kde) 

(c)  a panel pc at  http://www.hitachi.com/hpc/

(d) a notebook   http://www.compaq.com/products/handhelds/8000/ 

regards
sibu
