Since they were released I've searched for a distro but I had just recently given up on this issue. Some annyoing facts are though, that Compaq used Linux when they were developing Ipaq (the Itsy, I saw it in Pittsburg 1998). Further on, when buying an Ipaq, some fraction of the price will go to Microsoft, which I don't have any interrest in supporting. As when I buy laptops (I mostly use Dell Latitudes), I have to buy it with a MS distribution as well, which I can neither sell nor give away, as they are only running on Dell. My strategy use to be to buy it with the smallest hard disk available, then buy the largest hard disk available and install Linux on it. Implying that I will have bunch of small useless hard disks and MS distros. --- Adam Immanuel <> wrote: > I simply don't understand what you mean.
