There's also a hack to put in a bigger hard drive, but I suspect it's easier to use compact flash drives externally.
Yeah, I've not found the small HD an issue - my mp3 player holds any data I need to carry around, and it fits enough TV on it to entertain me for a day.
512MB is actually not that small for a Linux install - Windows would indeed run like crap on that, but Linux runs beautifully on it, and you should be able to do a great deal at once.
I've noticed that it gets a little sluggish if I abuse the music player to cue up 2000 tracks at once, but other than that it does indeed run smooth. Hooray for efficient operating systems!
(It'll look like Firefox uses up a lot of that memory, if you're watching the system monitor, but it's not actually true. It just makes itself look big, rather like the Cat on Red Dwarf.)
Heh. I am now picturing it fluffing up its tail at me.
