Aristide-

Depending on what you are doing I would say trying to
get your application running on the Palm w/ Linux is
FAR too much work. Linux on the Palm is much more a
"hobbyist" venture than anything that a business could
rely on.

Just my $.02.

Subject: [Palm-linux-development] Palm Zire 21

Hello

I'm developing a system using MySQL and PHP for an
intranet.
The time came when I was required to make a Palm
module.
Since this is a tiny company, and many of them have to
be bought, they 
chose the Zire 21. Good processor and specs at a low
price.
I thought of using Java Micro edition to do the actual
application, but 
the hotsync (or whatever method I use) is a headache,
I can't get it to 
work.
So I started thinking if there was a Linux that I
could install in this 
Palm (Which I beleive has a Strongarm processor) and
then... well, 
maybe I could also make the program that connects to
it through the craddle 
(preferably via TCP/IP, but not necessarily).
So, any help? Are there binaries somewhere that I
could use to try and 
install it on this Palm?

Thanks

Aristide
