So, is the dedicated OS a unix-like one, or it just has a linux kernel but could not be said to be a unix-like OS? Can I have a terminal such as xterm? Is there a way to put unix tools on it? alt. Are usual unix tools already available on it? I have heard their won't be any more upgrading work done for this version (770), since their is the 800 now, ...? In a different matter: what are the usable input methods for this machine: -- graphical keyboard? -- is the hand writing recognition actually works? Is it definitly only a board to go on the internet; not being even a PDA? Thanks, FA
It runs Maemo, which is somewhat based on Debian Linux (ie, you can install applications with apt-get and dpkg). The interface uses the Hildon library which is an extension of GTK. Nokia is actively participating with the Gnome group. Please see http://www.maemo.org. For applications, see http://www.maemo.org/downloads. You can install XTerm, ssh into your computer, etc. There really is no reason to install a different linux; the linux on it is just fine. There may be some argument to place a newer/differently compiled linux kernel onto the device, and some have done that. --Paul
