Your information is quite unspecific Get a model number for it - if it runs WinCE, tricks exist to boot a Linux kernel. But it takes quite a bit of effort to get a sane operating system going.

Looks feasible. But it probably requires a linux kernel hacker to get his hands on it and trying to boot something

I like this cpu's performace.
If linux can be run on it, this device will be great.

Hope more kernel hackers feel this device worth their efforts.

Where did you get it from? This sound like a fun project. I would suggest looking at Gentoo linux. They have a install handbook for ARM devices. But be warned Gentoo is for people who know linux.
