It covers 3 of the distros mentioned in your list.

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.

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 just comment on the Om stuff. "Om 2007" was our work from last 
year. "Om 2008" is the distro from Openmoko this year. Think of 2008.8 
and 2008.9 as updates to the Om 2008 release. We are going to try to 
have updates for the community every month.

There are community and internal efforts to get the GTK+ applications 
from Om 2007 installable from Om 2008's Installer. But we're still a few 
months away I think.

Hope that helps clarify at least some of this.

Overview of all distros

2008-09-03 Thread Christian Weßel
Hello,

I am not able to follow all the discussions about FR, but now I try to
get an overview which distributions are available:

1. 2007.2
2. 2008.8
3. qtopia
4. FSO
5. Debian
6. 2008.9(? is comming?)

For each of these are own repositories needed? And has it's own
philosophy?
Is there an overview with prerequsist and pro/con of each in wiki?
How should I decide which distro could be my one?
