Informations about 2.4 kernel

Introduction

This page describes status of Linux running on HP iPAQ h5100/h5400/h5500 devices. The development is done mostly on h5550 devices, so if there is any feature which is claimed to work but it doesn't, please contact our mailing list. Even though there are some important features still missing, these devices are becoming very good adepts to be linux-powered PDAs.
