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.

    Linux runs on anything from PDAs and small embedded devices to IBM mainframes today. You can't say that about *any* of its competition.

    Does it run on Itanium3? No, only windows does.
    Does it run on 8-way Xeon servers? No, only windows does.
    Does it run on Xbox? No, only windows does.
