I don't believe there is a distro for RX5940. Linux applications designed for desktop probably will not run on mobile platforms.

I don't think there's any "probably" about it. ;)

There's little demand for Linux on the desktop, let alone on Pocket PC's. If Linux was going to make an impact in the PPC market it needed to do so 7 or 8 years ago.

There was a Linux distro for Axim series. But has some major flaws (No CF, No Bluetooth, No Wi-Fi). So there are some people who still enjoy Linux.
