WorkPad z50



This is sort of Linux related.  I just saw the article on /. about the IBM
WorkPad z50 running Linux and NetBSD.  I'd _LOVE_ to have a little Handheld
running NetBSD and was just wondering if any one has played with one of these
with Linux or NetBSD.  I was reading reviws on c|net and some other places and
people seem to love them except for the fact that they say that the z50 is
"slow".  Now, I'm wondering if this is just because WinCE is running on the 
thing by default or if the z50 just isn't very good speed wise.  It has a 131 
mHz NEC 2141 (or was it 4121) which makes it  alot faster than a Palm or Handspring....  So, anyone know how Linux or NetBSD performs on one?

Thanks!

Gabe
