Newer models of the Zaurus might be better, but my SL-5500 depends on 
proprietary drivers in the kernel, which effectively means it's stuck at 
Linux 2.4.18.  The SD and CF drivers are somewhat unstable; I get 
filesystem corruption unless the cards are formatted with VFAT.  So if I 
were to buy a Linux PDA now, I'd make 100% open drivers a high priority.
