Default Linux? oh yeah!

Finnaly a good mobile operating system 8). Yeah I have a ipaq 2210, and I cant help think about firefox on it...
I was looking into buying a Sharp Zaurus but its too expensive to have imported and converted to english.

If palm pull this off, set up a ported repository and make it debian based for 1 click updates... then we have a winner.

lol I played with a mates Zaurus CL3100, (640x480, 4gb HDD, 128 rom... and some other specifications I cant remember off the top of my head ) and a got Apache 2 working on it and hosting my mini website. although impractical its impressive :devilboy:

Now palm can lower the cost of linux based PDAs and we can enjoy some nice software (ported open office, GIMP, firefox/thunderbird) on the move

Final Word. I love windows mobile on my ipaq... i love it to bits, but i cant help but think linux could do more :wink:
