What about porting pdaxrom to the GP2x?
http://pdaxrom.org/
Of course, you'd have to have a breakout box, mouse and keyboard to run it and I think most people would also want a mass storage device and a USB ethernet or wlan adaptor to round it off.
pdaXrom turns your pda or console into a full Linux based x11 computing envirionment optimised for low-memory, portable devices like the Sharp Zaurus. It includes a simple, easy to use graphical package manager for instaling new progs over the net from a package feed. It has been ported to other consoles like the PS2 already and it lets you run normal linux progs like firefox, gaim, abiword, gimp, quake mame etc. etc!!
Has this already been discussed here? I suppose someone would have to write an X11 driver for the GP2X graphics co-processor to get good video performance?
I've just suggested it in on the pdaxrom forum:

As I say, if i could suggest any improvemts to the breakout box i'd add
composite TV output
another USB port
in black!
