The Zaurus and Linux-based iPAQs use ipkg, if I'm not mistaken. ipkgs
are like debs, only they use tar instead of ar. ;) You can actually
use ipkg to install debs - I used to get packages from Debian/ARM all
the time, and in fact you can run a Debian/ARM system if you have extra storage.
It's pretty cool. =)
