I have Debian 2.0 running quite happily on my IBM ThinkPad 365XD. I know
it's an older model, but it works great for me. (I'm using it now.)

I use my PalmPilot Personal alot. Especially in university for keeping
track of my schedule, projects/assignments, and grades. It's also great
for those boring, fall asleep type classes (a little game of klondike or
cribbage can keep me entertained for a class or two.) *grin* I haven't
played much with the unix tools for it (like pilot-link) though.

No problem.
