not a clue, sorry...but after your email that said i could browse my soon-to-be devices folders with linux, i immediately made my laptop dual-boot ubuntu and im loving it! is it easy to browse the devices folders? sorry for all the questions!
Hola all, I've rooted it today. Got a simple script directory change that you run like a firmware upgrade from an sdcard to chmod busybox etc.
Let me know if anyone is interested and I'll toss it your way.
