Anything Palm should work.  I happen to be a fan of the Sony Clie 
models (T-615 (color, high resolution) just dropped to about $240).  If 
you are looking for cheaper models (or longer battery life), then Sony 
also has a monochrome model and the refurbished Handspring Visors can 
be found at Fry's for less than $100.  Note that all three models are 
USB, but they should be automatically set up on Red Hat 7.3.

A lot of people seem to like the Compaq iPaq, which I also believe is 
supported.  At the very least, you can install Linux on it. :-)

One of my coworkers purchased the Sharp Zaurus.  Although it is a bit 
pricey, it runs Linux (including bash), has very good handwriting 
recognition (and a thumb keypad), and manages to look really slick in 
the process.

Good luck.
