First of all, a few links:
* http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8728350077.html
(overview)
* http://www.archos.com/products/overview/pma_400.html
(expensive)
* http://www.powerplaydevices.com/products/ppvs_info.html
(dirt-cheap, North America only though)
Don't miss out the item which was published in Slashdot just /minutes/ ago:
*
http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/28/0554245&tid=215&tid=100&tid=106&tid=137
Also look up the Debian-based Nokia 770:
* http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,1522,,00.html?orig=/770
Regarding your questions:
- Go with Palm or the Zaurus if you seek good support, community and tools. I
am assuming, however, that you want to compile Linux on the PDA itself.
-The Palm Tungsten E might work with Linux:

Hope it helps,
Roy
