I have a linux arm-based PDA.  I haven't tried doing any work with gdc on  
it yet.  It's a wonderful Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 (I also have the SL-C700)  
and it runs OpenZaurus.  An excellent machine for this sort of thing.  I'd  
love to test this out.

I'm surprised that there is a Linux available for the Tungsten|C.  That  
would make a great little machine.  Which linux is that? Links? Maybe I  
can somehow find a way to get poor broken Tungsten back into working shape  
after 2 years in the closet.
