Default Feeling Like Some Penguin With Your Shift?

"Well, there is not too much info that I can say about it but what you can see in this video. Apparently this person installed Ubuntu got everything working on his HTC Shift."

If you build anything that resembles a computer, someone will put Linux on it. It's true for the HTC Shift apparently, however their isn't much here on how to actually pull it off.  Neat trick - anyone out there running Linux on a Windows Mobile device?

Default Linux on iPAQ

Yeah, been running LINUX on ipaq for years, but this guy actually ported Ubuntu distro to his handheld. This is different than running the very limited Opie or GPE distros. This is impressive indeed! Am running ubuntu on my laptop in a dual-boot, and getting that to work was a pain.
