The Zaurus is up with pdaXrom, which is pretty slick if not minimal. It’s fast too, way faster than the stock Zaurus ROM. I guess they are keeping the code page in the ROM, because ABIword loads in a half-second. The Wifi isn’t working yet, but it’s more likely the case of I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to iwconfig. I might get a CF Bluetooth card if I can find one on the cheap, they run about $89 anywhere I look. Having internet-via-cell phone would be nice; I already do that with my Macbook. If you have a CF BT card kicking around, I’d be willing to take it off your hands.
