But you will also need to be realistic. My biggest concern with the things mentioned by Shirish is not how challenging those devices are to tinker with using purely Debian, but how challenging they are to tinker with _at_ _all_. - Jonas P.S. Incidentally, I will attend a haccker session this weekend with the GTA04 developers - i.e. the successor to OpenMoko. No, that doesn't make me an expert on that device: I offer help _packaging_ the code for the device. -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
