I've got one (writing on it now at school), but Linux is not usable yet. I haven't even been able to boot successfully to a linux kernel using HaRET. you've been to the website,obviously. A bit hard to follow, but there's info there. Touchscreen not working completely, no SD card suppport (and without being able to dump the OS to the Disk on Chip, that means no root drive), and I don't think the keyboard is supported at all yet - no pinout on the chip I think.

The short answer is no, but the good news is that playing with it doesn't kill Wince, so there's no harm messing with it and trying to help. The more people messing with it, the faster it'll be.

Of course, if you, like me, can't boot a kernel at all, it's frustrating. Esp. If you never use Win for anything else.
