Familiar Linux 5.0 on iPAQ 3765

[url]http://www.handhelds.org{/url]
Start there.

I found it surprisingly easy to install on my iPAQ. The most difficult thing about using Linux on a PDA is configuring the system while ON the PDA (well mostly configuring the window manager and X) is a pain in the ass. In other words, using xterm with a stylus sucks. Its best to do all the editing of .conf files and whatnot in a terminal window on another computer. Since I am no linux wizard, I found messing with the default installed system a bit difficult. I have decided to partition my laptop, install Debian GNU/Linux, and practice practice practice. With a handheld, its all about the interface, so learn how to set up your menus and tools before getting to the iPAQ.

Of course, it wouldn't hurt if someone could scrap together a Stumbler distro and distro it. heh
