Hi folks out there,

I want to buy a PDA and use it together with a flexible USB keyboard.
I aim to use linux with the PDA. I've already build own kernels and
done other special linux stuff.

Some clerks told me that it is uncertain if the PDA undestands that
there is a keyboard connected with USB.

Does anybody have experience with PDA and external USB keboard support
running linux?
I don't want to use the foldable mini keyboards you can get for the
PDA's cause they are no realy keyboards to me. And a flexible
keyyboard is light and could be rolled so this combination would be
perfect for external text input with as light an equpiment as
possible.

What kind of PDA is recommended for that? What linux is known to be
the right one for me? What problems could there be concerning
different flexible keyboards?
