Nothing. It's been replaced by my Alpha-400 and EeePC 900A.

Yep. Linux software is still more up to date and usable on the 720/728 than anything hpc2000 or wm2003 has to offer. However i've long since retired from jlime and moved on to another machine to hack. The alpha-400 (razorbook 400, cmn minibook, elonex onet etc). Better screen and resolution, double the cpu, double the ram, still gets 4-5 hours battery life, usb host x3, sd slot, built in wifi/ethernet and only takes 20 seconds to boot up and only cost me $149.00 NEW. Really leaves me no reason to use my 728 anymore.

I'm using Puppy Linux 4.1.2 on my eee 900 and I've used a free, full version of Textmaker 2002 for Linux. Did you ever get that working in one of your great distros for the J-720?
