I love the idea of people cross compiling linux on all kinds of nifty and exotic devices. I believe this is a great way of learning (and teaching) about computer hardware and operating systems in general (not to mention flaunting linux portability). But seriously. Using your DS as a PDA or whatever is like using your Xbox as a Word Processor. I'd rather play games on it thanks. I'll get a PDA if I need a PDA. I'm sure this whole thing started as 'I ported it cause I can'. Why promote it as something it's not?
