Unfortunately the linux port is only available for actual Palm devices (read: ones made by 3com). There is no support for the Sony Clie or any HandSpring models. Which is fine if you have a Palm Vx but not so good if you have a HandSpring Visor Prism.

The reson for this is that the HandSprings don't have their OS flashed into memory so the linux booter (I don't think it's lilo or grub, probably something a lot smaller) can actually boot the operating system. It would have been nice if it had worked though.

By the way, I mailed Simon Cozens today and I'll see how far he is with the port (he said he would be a few weeks in May 2000 :)).
