Ah, a long time I waited for this day - I got my Zaurus. Got back from the shop, unpacked it.
Switched it on - Linux booting - what a sight on a pda :). Everything pre-configured for standard pda use.
Now I need to install some linux tools (vi and Perl mainly) to be happy.
Yes, Perl I wrote. I've seen it over at sourceforge. So I will of course try that soon. :)
