The netwinder's a cute little machine developed by Corel computing
canada. It has the SA1100 (strong arm) processor which used to be
made by DEC but is now produced by Intel. You could get some more
information on this at www.netwinder.org This SA1100 processor,
although does not have an FPU (floating point unit), is extremely
popular with mobile devices because of its extremely low power
requirments. Regarding the running of Linux on it, your could refer
to the site arm.uk.linux.org, which is a prime site for the ARM
port of Linux.
Hope this helps.
