The developers are working on making it dist-upgrade'able at the moment, but for now just repartition your SD card, install the tar balls from the site, join the user list and wait for the announcement that dist-upgrade'ing is working.. ;-) Pros: - Debian! apt-get! shiny! ;-) - Excellent audio quality (for outgoing calls at least) - Abiword - TangoGPS - etc Cons: - No method for suspending yet - Battery meter and apm non-functional with default kernel - Drinks battery (no suspend!) - Can't import contacts into the PIM application (Evolution data server) Personally I'm dual booting my Freerunner now with Qt Extended 4.4.2 in flash as the work-a-day phone and Hackable-1 off the SD card as an experiment. cheers!
