linux pdas'? what can they run

[toypiano]

can any of the linux pdas run regular linux files? By this i mean, can they run my audio programs? Ideally i want a pda that can run synth programs and I am curious if this is the way to do it.

Which PDA are you talking about? I don't know of any that run on the x86 architecture. The Yopy, for example, runs on StrongARM. Which means that you'll have to either find a StrongARM binary of the program you want it to run, or download the source code and cross-compile for StrongARM.

i was thinking yopy helio or any of the ones out there. I am sorry i am total newbie. DOes that mean it could be done or that it is intense and unlikely?

Most Linux software should compile clean on StrongARM. Debian has an entire StrongARM distribution. You might want a little experience with compiling software, dealing with libraries, and understanding system architectures first.
