Anyone know?

This will be one of my deciding factors on which PDA to buy.

I would say no to that at least. You would need someone to have built a dual ROM image for WM and Linux and made it fit in the available space. The Linux lobotomization of a WM device seems always to have been of the replacement variety. It's not like you can flash seperate portions of the ROM in succession, at least not with the common tools. Have you tried Googling for your answer, as most folks here are pretty happy with their devices. Or at least not so disappointed they want to load Linux ;)

Unfortunately, no, according to for example this post (http://www.handhelds.org/hypermail/hx2000-port/current/0154.html).
