I believe you void your ipaq warranty if you wipe winCE from them so I would be careful. As nick says palms work great with Linux. You can check what palms are compatible with Linux (basically all of them) here http://wiki.pilot-link.org/index.php/DeviceMatrix

welcome to the list.

there aren't many pda's that actually run linux, and what there is
doesn't sell much in nz, if at all.

the pick is probably the sharp zaurus series, they aren't available in
nz. They run linux out of the box.

site that sells them outside Japan)


also the compaq ipaq will run linux, but you have to set it up yourself.
there are plenty oh howtos on the net.


e.g. http://www.handhelds.org/geeklog/index.php

OTOH if you simply want a PDA that will sync to linux (as opposed to
running linux natively) palms will do it.


in each case you need to check the individual model, don't just take my word for it :-)
