My English is not so good. Just a friend will buy it and send it by mail to me.

I have actually a Dell Axim i30 and it works with PocketPC. I will
sell it and I want to upgrade and the zaurus seems to have a good
combination of things. Its software is in Japanese, it run under
Linux, has a big screen, SD and CF.
I will use it as a normal PDA, because I need it, but I want it to
program too, specially Perl. I just want something without any
relationship with M$ and that can be happily hacked with some
dedicated Linux distributions.
Just the deserved Christmas gift, for a year of hard work, of a Linux
adict and Japan fan geek :-)

What do you meand when you said:

If I use Opie, OpenZaurus, Lycoris, mySTEP and so forth, maybe it will
let me install other free software?

Cheers.
