PocketMatrix

Well, I like Linux very much as my name poitns out. I hear Linux for the Axim can only run for 15 minutes then it crashes. Is there anyone willing to take research on this? Or are there any alternative operating systems. I really do not want to run Pocket PC 2003 it can be trashy at times.


Thanks

PocketPC OS/Mobile 2003 is going to be less trashy than what you're expecting linux to be on a ppc.

Do yourself a favor and just use wine to sync your ppc with your linux desktop. Not only will you 1. feel like you've beat billy G once again, but you'll 2. be able to say you're still doing everything in linux.

I'm not a linux hater, I have gentoox running on my xbox for cripes sake, and YES I use KDE so SHOOT ME... I'm just saying that even on a device with much more power than a PPC, it's still limited to nothing more than what you could already do on a pocketpc os. Sad, but true.

it is possible to have a double boot solution on your (old) Ipaq (in fact I was doing this before I got a Zaurus), just put the Linux partition on a removable media and the bootloader handles that well (only problem is that the entire CE memory is deleted but well, you can make a backup to your card before switching to Linux )

As always (I think everybody interested about Linux on Ipaq knows this site but it can't harm promoting them a bit more) check out http://www.handhelds.org for more information

If your so crazy about linux, do yourself a favor and buy a sharpzaurus.

Yeah, the Sharp actually has quite a little niche community carved out for itself. I've seen lots of posts on other boards with active programmers looking to bring more to the zaurus.

Is there any way to install Linux on an A620 ?

No, the only supported devices are on the handhelds.org page
