I wouldn't based on my experience with LM-7.2. I can only boot in graphical
mode, even FAILSAFE crashes with a Kernel Panic. I can't install a USB (model
supported by Linux-USB.org) modem, can't install Wordperfect 8 (2 CDs &
download tried), I can install Corel Photopaint 9 (1 CD and one download
tried), but it won't run (fonttastic is missing).
And no one knows any answers as to why any or all of these things fail.
One might presume a Linux PDA has a good Linux installed, but what of 3rd
party applications? Who is going to get those working when they fail?

Just curious, if it was affordable would y'all go for a linux PDA over a
palm or ce PDA? I wonder if running linux on PDA would make it a lot more
customizable and more extensible than the other PDA OSs on the market?
I've been looking for a PDA that was more than just a glorified organizer.
I don't care about storing 5 years worth of appointments or 100,000 email
addresses. I want a PDA to be general purpose computing device. I want my
PDA to be a thin client to my linux server so I can turn the coffee maker on
and pull up my MP3 playlist from my couch.
