I think for example this old thread lists quite a lot of "what do you do with them" items: http://www.mail-archive.com/community@lists.openmoko.org/msg49299.html Of course, some simply use it as a phone and nothing much more. > so how about telling us old- > timers just waking up what the current 'nicest OS' for the Freerunner > is? Popularity wise it's SHR (http://shr-project.org/). I like Debian (http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner) more because of its familiarity, universalness, stability when upgrading etc., but you need to enjoy tinkering since out-of-the-box it's not perfect and even installation may not be problem-free. QtMoko (http://qtmoko.org/) is a Debian + QtExtended based distribution with totally enjoyable out-of-the-box experience, probably the most "normal users suitable" distribution out there, at least in the sense it looks the most productized. From my perspective those are the top-3 distros, but of course there are loads of others as well - http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions. -Timo _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
