OpenBSD/zaurus is an effort to make OpenBSD run on several PDAs of the
Sharp Zaurus family.

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
Shortly after Sharp unveiled its first Zaurus machines, some OpenBSD developers
started dreaming of running OpenBSD on it, to have the smallest possible
ssh-capable machine!
<p>
After the <a href="cats.html">OpenBSD/cats</a> was completed in order to benefit
from a good ARM development platform, work on the Zaurus hardware, initially
targetting the C-860 and C-3000 models, started in 2004.

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
As the port is still in its early stages, development is pretty hectic at the
moment. Both the C-860 and the C-3000 machines boot multiuser,
and device support is being constantly improved.
<hr>
<a name="projects"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Projects (in no particular order):
</strong></font></h3>
<ul>
<li>Better C-860 support.
<li>Better display support, and eventually X11.
</ul>
