Has anyone (is anyone) investigating the feasibilty of a NetBSD port to 
the Handheld Windows CE computers?

I would have thought they would be too small in terms of mass storage. 
But, with a FLASH card, I don't see why it's not possible.

My primary intrest in this is related to troubles writing "real world" 
applicatifons. Mainly, writing simple things to use the HPC for 
instrementation.

The reason I think NetBSD would be a viable option is centered around 
this problem, I don't want to have to use the windows enviroment. I'd 
rather use perl/python, etc. AFAIK NetBSD/i386 pcmcia could be used for 
this, making general archetecture, CPU, and console support the primary 
issues. (as well as a C compiler-- I think)

So, does anyone have any thoughts?

thanks.
