To add to the PC On A Stick discussion, most on the list seem to want a
flown blown Linux system on an embedded platform. That's all well and good,
but has anyone here entertained thoughts of a palmtop version for the
burgeoning PDA hardware rapidly appearing?

Linux has already booted and run with the romfs on a Palm Pilot, and the DEC
Itsy is an StrongARM 1100 based palmtop Linux box (too bad it's for
'researchers' only).

I see one use for Linux running on something like the stick as the first
step to a handheld. I don't really need RAID, SCSI, routing, etc. for this
purpose. What would be needed is a lean GUI or severely slimmed X
implementation and some trick applications.
