Linux On The Dell Axim

Posted by timothy on from the michael-are-you-listening dept.

An anonymous reader points to this interesting project to run the Familiar Linux distribution on the Dell Axim. "It includes a picture of the Axim running Linux and directions for loading Linux on the Dell Axim from the CF card. Looks like a good start to this project." It's limited for now (crashes after 15 minutes, must be loaded through the installed version of Windows), but everything starts out that way.

    A nice side effect of storing everything in flash is that running out of battery only resets your clock, not your data.

    And this fuckall to do with Linux?
