I'm using iPAQ 3835 with linux distribution called familliar. I only bought 
the iPAQ only because I knew that it supported linux. Compaq (now HP) support 
and host support for their iPAQ PDAs on www.handhelds.org. Let me tell you 
from the inside, development is in full swing and what I see is great! I am 
the man to talk with if you ever hop on the iPAQ trail. I'm right now about 
to create a USB network for my USB connection so that I can have  a more 
robust speed difference then with the serial connection. I tried almost all 
except for one way of setting up communication with the iPAQ by serial 
connection.
