I remember using Linux with X on a Psion Series 5mx (ARM7, 36Mhz, 16MB RAM) back in my younger, more foolish days. Just wondering how NetBSD compares in RAM usage. Right now I'm running Familiar Linux + Opie on my Jornada, and the RAM usage is fine. But since the 728 has 64MB I thought I'd check. As far as WMs go, DevilVM (http://n.ethz.ch/student/dobinr/devilwm/index.html) sounds like a good idea. Porting Opie or even GPE would be great, but I'm no good as a C/C++ coder, so I'll keep quiet :-) So, NetBSD-3.0 (release) is cross-compiling at the moment. Just trying to get a feel for it. So far it's similar enough to OpenBSD that I don't have to look too hard. I didn't see any mention of 3.0 on hpcarm, mind you. Guess I'll find out whether it works once I have a 1GB CF card in hand.
