Linux...not Linux on another PC. I wonder if I should cancel the
order for the 7800 (it's on backorder anyway) and go with something
more mainstream like the 7200...also save a few bucks!

Well I would not take the "TS7800 is not embedded " too literally.
Certainly embedded systems are getting more and more powerful so in
some ways the limitations of embedded systems are less than they used
to be.
However, I would take seriously the fact that key hardware elements
depend on closed-source proprietary drives and even the hardware
interface is not fully documented.
That is a show stopper for me.
At least with 7200 series boards the SDcard driver has been developed
into the mainstream kernel if you want to build your own 2.6 kernel.
This would actually be a worthwhile exercise if you want to explore
working with linux on embedded.
