The few PDA's the run linux are a little harder to find. If you want to be supergeek you run linux on your PDA. If you just want it for some sort of productivity like phone numbers, schedules, etc.. then go for a Palm. I like using my Zaurus for taking notes and playing games in color. I find it's great for travel, just never leave home without the charger.
