I have a similar Zaurus 3100. I checked out both Openzaurus' OPIE & GPE. They 
were nice, but felt too similar to a palm pilot or a "plain" old PDA.

If you really want your Zaurus to be just like a "regular" PC running a full 
blown OS, OpenBSD on the Zaurus is great. It's the full OS installation with 
gcc, X windows, etc. Basically, if it compiles on OpenBSD it'll work on the 
Zaurus. Completely self-hosted development--no need for cross compilers on 
other boxes. Combined with a lightweight desktop such as blackbox it's amazing. :)
