Linux on an iPaq

[Craig McLean]

Hello.

I have two Compaq iPaq Pocket PCs circa the year 2000.  I have a 3650 and a 3950.  Is anybody aware of a reasonably modern Linux distribution which will install on these guys?  I did some googling but seem to wind up at either dead or ambiguous links.

Using a Compaq 3650 iPAQ can at first be a bit of a mind-blowing
experience. You're holding in your hand a 206-MHz StrongArm processor,
32 megabytes of RAM, and a 240-by-320 pixel color LCD screen. Other than
the display, this is better than what we had on our desks only a few
short years ago!
