 4. FSO
 5. Debian
 6. 2008.9(? is comming?)

 For each of these are own repositories needed? And has it's own

 Is there an overview with prerequsist and pro/con of each in wiki?
 How should I decide which distro could be my one?

Let me comment on Debian. It’s not really a distro (in the Openmoko
speak) of it’s own, but a different underlying system for openmoko
distros. At the moment, we ship the software from the FSO stack, but
hopefully we’ll also have, for example, the Stable Hybrid Release
software in our archive.

So for now, Debian is a different way of installing FSO, which takes
more space and provides more programs :-)

Greetings,
Joachim

Let me comment on FSO, which is only a distro because we can (thanks
to OpenEmbedded). Zhone is an independent UI application based on the
FSO framework to facilitate testing.
If you want to build own UIs or custom applications on the forthcoming
Openmoko dbus service framework, then the FSO-image is a good starting
point.
