I just acquired a Zaurus. LOVE it. GPE and Opie run great, and I
managed XF86 w/ fluxbox. Agreed about the PDA to use as a PDA,
Joseph... The Zaurus is more of an expensive toy than a PDA, but it's
excelent for running anything, as you can make stuff.  Runs full
shell, VI etc, with the OZ rom.  Full busybox, etc.
