Ahh, I was wondering because I'd never heard of a linux port for the  
Tungsten|C before.

Yes, two :).  One from an easy ebay deal (the C700) and the other from  
overseas (C3200).  No decent deal was available on the C3200, of course.   
I just grit my teeth and shelled out the money.  I just wanted one that  
bad :P.

The C700 series wasn't that hard to find on ebay for a good deal, though.   
It's battery life is the most dismal of the 7** and 8** clamshell series,  
but it's certainly an excellent and inexpensive unit for experimenting on  
before I touch the likes of the shiny C3200. And I love having a rotatable  
640x480 screen. :)

Another unit that greatly interests me is the GP2X.  That linux-based  
unit, although it's more media and game console oriented, looks  
fascinating.  And it's not all that expensive either.
