I think for example this old thread lists quite a lot of "what do you
do with them" items:

Of course, some simply use it as a phone and nothing much more.

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 -
