PDa, of course.  I've been making a lot of builds using  
OpenEmbedded.  I am working on a custom OpenEmbedded image/distro  
based on Angstrom.  So far I have it running on iPAQs and Palms.   
Others should be possible.  I should have some test releases soon.

I have also made some test builds for Maemo and OpenMoko.  I suppose  
I should throw them somewhere if anyone wants to try them.
