#OpenBSD 5.4 on a Sharp Zaurus SL-C3100.
While 6.0 was the last version to support Zaurus, X breaks in 5.5. I don't have a working network card yet, but hopefully will soon.
#NetBSD still supports the Zaurus, but I wasn't able to install it.

I posted this on reddit ~a month ago, so you may have seen it already.

@goldfish I found a few Japanese archives with a lot of old distros the last time I broke out the Zaurus to mess around. Not a ton left, though.
I think what I'd want most (outside of working 5G on an SDIO card or something) would be Palm Graffiti-style input.

@sleet01 I have a good number of Palm devices but never got into using Graffiti. I know some people who are really fast with it though.

Good luck on the project and please post any dmesg updates to the dmesg collection if you can.

@goldfish peak portable computing

@goldfish This is so cool. We need more of these devices that are not much more expensive than a bigger and better laptop.
