Hi, all.

Apologies if this is in the wrong section!!

I am considering buying a Sharp Zaurus 5500 (PDA).  People usually run Openzaurus on them, but I notice it has a 200Mhz Intel processor and has 64 megs of RAM.  Could DSL be used? I guess X config could be a problem... or maybe not.

Any comments.

Thanks,

Chris.

Sorry, the Zaurus uses a strongARM processor that's not compatible with i386 which DSL runs on.

EDIT:
Maybe the following helps?

My apologies.

The eBay ad that I read must have got it's facts wrong.

Thanks for putting me straight.

Chris.
