Earlier you mentioned that you had used a 100mhz 486 with linux and
X. Out of curiosity why did you upgrade, and what functions do you
find noticably improved.

Still, am I correct in thinking you are the guy who has been wearing a 
wearable for 5years? If so I'd say that in itself would be a good
reason for upgrading to the latest and greatest.

On the issue of power. Does the 586 use about twice as much power as
your older 486? Did you start carrying more batteries, or just begin
to recharge more often? 

What do you find a comfortable weigth to carry about all day? 2-3kgs?
