I won't have time to test Poky until the weekend, but I'll give it a
shot.  Until then I'll fiddle with vi some more and then take another
stab at using emacs with ruby support.

Actually, I have some heavy lifting to do to fix my ruby scripts so
that they run faster on my Zaurus.  They're painfully slow right now.

Poky's latest release looks particularly good.  Angstrom was pre-alpha
when I last saw it.  Now it's just alpha but there is a lot of
activity.  I still place a lot of hope in it.  I might even buy a
C3100 just for more full support and development under Angstrom.
