Opie, Qtopia, GPE, Pixil, Debian...
A lot of solutions to run Linux on most (old?) iPaq. Btw, nothing as good as
Pocket PC if you just want to use your iPaq like a PDA. I mean if you want
to sync with Windows Applications or use the PDA as a first computer (if
you don't have unix knowledge) you will be in trouble.
Linux is ready to be a good embedded OS but nobody has done a good and easy
to use user interface so far. And when you try to convince people or ask
for help to design one, a few big bad-tempered doorkeepers come to you and
start "big trolling attacks"!
Welcome to the 21th century.
