I actually just got GNU/Linux working on my Palm T|X a few minutes ago. It seems to be working just fine so far. There are a ton of dead links, and important information is scattered between a ton of different resources. I'll write a tutorial and host a mirror of these fairly hard-to-find

I wish the Pyra would take off. I hate smartphones and I would rather have a class of mobile computing that's dead in the consumer market, a UMPC, but I don't think they can enough people willing to spend $1,500 for a dual core machine just because it's a fully open modular platform with a

Wow, you fought a hard fight in that thread! :O Nice job. Is the bios/bootloader free in that machine? That is basically a "would be" machine for us.

You could try the OpenPandora, or its successor, the Pyra. I have an OpenPandora. Using it in freedom is a bit difficult, and it's a very weak device when you do (no graphical hardware acceleration, and no wireless of any kind). The way I set it up was to install a 3rd-party OS called

The Pandora uses an older Texas Instruments processor (not Sitara) and I think it uses the u-boot bootloader which is released under the GPL. No non-free software is required to operate, if you want to use WIFI you can use an external WIFI adapter from ThinkPenguin or Tehnoetic. Next step

Yes, that's my understanding. Regarding porting a libre distro to install into the NAND, that's not realistic, really. The Pandora's NAND is only 512 MB, and the stock Pandora OS (SuperZaxxon) uses this space only for the bare essentials. That's why it has the "PND" system. So for a libre

I thought about libreCMC or ProteanOS, which can be made to fit in less the 512 MB.

I'm sure they can, but what would be the point in using those in the Pandora? It's not like they have their own version of something like the PND format, so it would be very finnicky to use. Install an OS into an SD card, and you won't have to worry about tiny space limitations.

Hey all, Do any of you use a PDA anymore? I wish to have something of that sort, preferably with a stylus so I can write on it. Something I can sync up to the computer and keep a calendar, and maybe even access e-mail on. I know there are loads of Android devices, but I really

I never used a PDA so I can't answer your actual question. I guess a (second hand) PDA might be a decent compromise between a phone and a "smartphone". Looks like there is some palm related software in the repos.apt-cache search palm|sort|grep -i palm I once considered getting a NanoNote
