[TriLUG] evolution robot and ZapMedia (unrelated questions)?

[gregbrown at mindspring.com]

Hey everyone. I was surfing last night and stumbled upon
http://www.evolution.com while searching for the Evolution mail client.  

It's a sweet little laptop controlled personal robot with only one major flaw
that is obvious to even the most casual observerd: it's controled by Windows
(ack, blue screen, ack) and there isn't even a Mac OS X option let alone a
Linux option.  Does anyone know of a personal robot with similar features that
runs off a Linux laptop?

Second question.

Also does anyone out there actually OWN a ZapMedia ZapStation
(http://www.zapmedia.com)?  I like that it's Linux based but I don't like the
idea that I can't use SMB to mount drives to back up the MP3s on the media
station and/or to get around the 30 gig hard drive limitation.  I do like that
it comes with a FTP server so files can be uploaded to the station, however,
but without 802.11a or b I have to run a Cat-5 cable to the station from the
switch.  So there's good and bad with the ZapStation.  I'm just wondering if
anyone owns one and what your thoughts are regarding this product.
