This one is much cheaper, but only available in the states: http://www.linuxda.com/store/infopda.html It's Palm IIIxe hardware compatible, comes with 2MB flash and 8MB RAM. Not a super-powered machine, but very cheap at US$100. Note that they also have their "LinuxDA" for the Palm series for US$40 (consumer) or US$60 (professional). The difference seems to be that the professional version comes with a software dev kit. Note that they want US$20 for the Linux kernel source for it. I honestly can't imagine anyone making money by selling Linux for Palm computers, especially since the vast majority of Palm users are quite happy with the software on it. But it seems like a really fun hobby project. Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
