I tried to setup MapServer into a Zaurus last year. The Zauri are nice because 
of their linux distros. Apache was ok, Php and MySql were availables although 
I did not try them. But I did not manage to compile MapServer. Troubles with 
different versions of gcc, I think. But it might be solved with cross 
compilation. I haven't been that far.
(The aim was to consult and digitize new features on a mobile device without 
internet connection).
