>> News It is now possible to boot the Corel NetWinder Computer with Debian GNU/Linux, thanks to the work of Jim Pick and the other team members of the Debian Arm port. A disk image with instructions on how to use it is available from <ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/debian/netwinder/bootable-image/> A kernel package of the new ELF kernel (some notes are available at <http://www.netwinder.org/~ralphs/knotes.html>) is available from <ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/debian/netwinder/kernel/> This alleviates the need for the chroot environment that previous development work was being conducted in, and allows work to progress even faster than before. This will also allow more people to join in the development effort easily. >> About Debian Debian GNU/Linux is a free distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system.
