Linux on Palm (or another use for it)

[ikonia]

guys,

I'm board with my palm M515
I'm finding myself using it less and less due to crappy apps on it, that as I get more productive seem more resrective.

i was thinking of trying to put a linux install on it, and wondered if anyone had managed this, thought about this.

Any other uses for the palm other than a linux toy at the moment I just use it for a remote control, but as my sony commander has just turned up I have no need for it

Thanks

Well it looks like Palm Source is embracing linux as a mobile kernel see here although I dont think that will help you much.

I saw this Linux for palm project on sourceforge a while back but nothing seems to be happening to it .

I actually find my Palm Tungten E very useful at the mo. I regularly use apps such as Documents to go, the date book/calender, Aeroplayer ogg player, notebook app and EasyCalc calculator. Over the last few months I have been finding it very useful as a (simple and portable) word processor, music player etc .

I've seen Linux running on a Clié but don't know much about the M515.

I love my Clie, it may only be an SJ30 and may know be severely behind the likes of the Tungsten T3, but I love it to bits and would be seriously lost without it. I get a lot of ideas when working on projects whilst at work/on the train/walking, it's great just to be able to jot them down then sync them with my desktop when I get in on a night
