Linux PDA

[Mike Gorse]

I have one of those, although I haven't ever tried to use it.  Its 
keyboard is very small, has about 40 keys or so, and is not touch-typable, 
although there are external folding keyboards that might work with it.

I also bought a used IBM Workpad Z50 from ebay with the intention of 
trying to put Linux or NetBSD on it, but I never ended up doing anything 
with it.  It has a nearly laptop-sized, touch-typable keyboard (as do the 
Nec MobilePro handhelds, I believe) but only a 131mhz MIPS processor and 
has been long discontinued.
