Question Pure linux PDA/PPC?

I know you can install linux around the PPC 2002 but I want a 100% linux run machine. I'm not looking to spend crazy bucks just something to get a feel for portable 'nix. somethinh under 200 bucks, heck I saw a watch that looked cool but I couldn't find any more info about, any 'nix heads want to point me in the right direction?

Only thing I know of is the Sharp Zaurus. They're around $300 or so though. Office Depot sells them at many locations for like $320. I'm sure you can find it online for cheaper though. Here is a link: Click Here

I couldn't find any other linux based PDAs. It looks like the Zarus is the only one so far.

It looks pretty sweet, but that price tag is outta my rande, besides something that slick might make my ax jealous and we can't have that

I bought the Zaurus last summer and returned it after a week. Its syncing software sucked. I'm sure they've made improvements since then, but not enough to convince me to buy it again. Love PPC.
