Title: the cyber universe needs linux on pdas

what do you think, do you think that more pdas should come preinstalled with say RedHat or SuSE?

most of the ones right now have M$ windows  on them.

I thought most PDA's came with some Palm OS, Pocket PC's with PocketPc 2002/2003. I'd rather a PocketPC currently. More powerful, more memory. Etc...

My PDA is a Sharp SL5500 with 256MB of SD ram that runs on OpenZaurus (http://www.openzaurus.org/oz_website/content/screenies)

It is the Best PDA i have ever used and would not trad it for any other PDA or crapy Windoze product...

Some Linux PDA's

web page (http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8728350077.html)

I hate to say it but I could do without a PDA.
I don't do sales or anything so for right now I don't have enough appointments to lose track of.

But I think it would be a cool gadget to fiddle with
a 600 dollar gadget.

it isnt a PDA but my iomega hipzip ran on redhat.


HP likes the idea of open source tho and invested in making their copy of unix user friendly so i wouldnt be suprised if hp/compaq come out with a new jornada,ipaq with a build of unix on them.
