Cool can I install linux on a PalmPilot?


dumb question probably... but...

is there a Linux distro that runs on the Palm architecture? I have an old PalmPilot Professional that I don't use. It'd be really cool to run Linux on it, if possible.

This should help you. It does say on the top that "this article contains all the information you need to run Linux with the PalmPilot personal digital assistant."

Regards,
Jerry

Thanks for the link. Not quite what I'm looking for, though.

Thanks for the links. Looks like it's either going to take a lot of time, a lot of money, or both. I only have a PalmPilot (only 1MB RAM) so I don't think it'll do.
