[TriLUG] Linux PDAs

[Merle Watts]

I've been using a 5500 for the last couple of months.  I Seems to work great so far. I havent had the time to find out how to do the things I wanted to do yet. Been to busy. Wireless works good. I'm mostly using it as a subnet calculator and for phone numbers and addresses.  

It's not supposed to be much different than the 5600.  Mostly speed.  Also I don't ever put it in my pocket so I don't have to worry about the problem with the power button.

Anyone here use a Sharp Zaurus 5600?  From what I've been reading this
looks like the PDA that I want.  Does anyone have any personal
experience with Linux based PDAs they could share?  I like the Zaurus
because of the built-in keyboard, the wireless CF expansion, and I hear
you can install an ssh client, etc...  I may opt for a standard PDA w/ir
keyboard if there are any other good ones that are Linux based.  (Oh
yeah, the 400MHz XScale proc. looks nice too!)

TIA!
