i'm trying to find any information about subject?
I guess it's possible to compile a linux-kernel for similar device.
Thank's for any information.

Once you have installed it though, do any apps actually support linux?

I think its more of a "I can do this look!" thing than one that offers any practical benefit.

Well, it's pretty cool to get access to shell and programming languages like a Perl, C. And helpful to controll my Unix servers&services.

I dont think a newbie should be installing linux on their device. You will find you can run linux programs but not actual pocket pc apps. It really is only for the hardcore linux zeolots.

There's a nice little project for you...build a Xanadux (Linux) kernel for the Prophet.... ;)

It is possible... The Prophet's hardware is similar to the Wizard's. So you can boot the Kernel of the Linwizard-Project and, if you are a programmer, help the project ;-).

It will be possible to port the dynamic linker/loader from wine to wince,
and write a replacement coredll.dll from win32 finctions implemented in wine.
Since wince is implemented in a much cleaner way than usual windows,
running wine on linux-arm is easier than on linux-x86.

Jarr. Maybe some people want to run an inherently insecure, memory leaking and royalty money squeezing environment on their computer ? I don't.
