Of course. I think that Linux is the best choice for servers and
desktops as well as developer PDAs.

In my own personal use I have found PalmOS to be fantastic on the PDA
and would never consider a PocketPC device.

I much prefer a device with fast solid state storage to a clunky hard
drive (the only selling point of which is its storage capacity) that is
going to break after I have dropped it twice. With my m130 I have
dropped it about 20 times and although I did need to glue the fact cover
back on its never missed a beat.
