Check out the LinuxSH project: <URL: http://m17n.org>. That's
the homepage of the Japanese governments multilingualization
project, but the Linux on SH project is hosted there as
well; there's a link to it on that page.

I have a Jornada 430 that I have not been able to port
Linux to yet, because of the fact that there's proprietary
HP hardware in it that's not publically documented. Some
people have managed to get Linux booted on 600-series
Jornadas in spite of that. I'm not aware of any successes
with 500-series Jornadas yet. Now that Bruce Perens has
joined HP, there seems to be some hope of getting
proprietary hardware docuementation out of them, but
I know of no actual progress on that front yet.

HTH,
