I have a IPAQ
and I know there is a distro for the intel strongarm CE devices.
Is anyone out there running linux on a Compaq IPAQ?

No but I like the idea of running Linux on one. I have an old Philips Nino that has had Linux ported to it as well but not all of its hardware's supported and it doesn't have enough memory to load much more then then the OS on so I'll stay with CE. If you decide to do this let us know how it goes.

Yeah, it looks promising. Are they planning on porting Lindows to handhelds?

Its a nice idea but this little baby costs 600 dollars
I`m not going to dive in but I may eventually try it when it is
tested better
documented better
and there are more apps that will run on it.
