If you're referring to Linux DA, save your money. It's not very useful
and doesn't feel like Linux at all, even though it's based on a 2.2
kernel (or is it 2.0?). I had it on my Palm IIIx for a few days and
finally dumped it and got my money back. I had thought I could have some
common code between the Palm and my laptop, but the LinuxDA API is more
like the standard PalmOS API; i.e., nothing portable.
