[PLUG] Extremely cool stuff

["Adam Zion" <azion@cceb.med.upenn.edu>]

	I just purchased a new MP3 jukebox, the Rio Karma. One of my reasons 
for getting this was its advertised Linux compatibility. Here's how it 
works:

	1) Plug the cradle into an Ethernet port. The Karma will either get an 
IP via DHCP or you can configure one statically.

	2) Go to any PC and point a Web browser to the IP of the Karma. Yes, it 
has a built-in Web server, albeit a very minimal one.

	3) Download the Rio Music Manager Lite Java applet (in .JAR format) 
from the Karma.

	4) If you have a JVM on the system, run RMMLite w/the command line 
"java -jar rmmlite.jar"

	5) Manage files on the Karma.

	It's a beautiful thing. Granted, RMMLite isn't as full-featured as the 
version for Windows, but it allows for nearly 100% functionality *w/o* 
requiring a Windows computer.

	Now, I can go entierely Windows-free if I feel like it.
