 It should be possible to put Linux on it, but a lot of development would
be needed and some experimentation with the hardware at a low level. On the
other hand, you could put in a flash card with a few GB and have a decent
little system.

 You might look here first:

 Or the 'external links' here:

 Note that NetBSD or OpenBSD might be more mature, I can't tell from a
quick skim.

 Sincerely,
