Here is a side by side comparison of Linux versus Win95 and MacOS

		Linux		Win95		MacOS
Price		free		$89		???
Stable		excelent	flaky		good
configurability	excelent	fair		good
powermanagement	good		good		excellent
tech support	excellent	bad		good
system size	20+ megs	100+ megs	???

For me the most imporsant things however are power managment, stability,
and configurability.  Also most of the work I'd be doing would be on a
Linux desktop so a Linux based wearable is a good idea.
