OpenZaurus 3.2 Released

mpeg4codec writes "I was surfing around to-day and noticed that the OpenZaurus team has released OpenZaurus 3.2 Final. It's rather funny, because the ``unstable'' version still reads OpenZaurus 3.1-rc3.1. Wonder why they released this version as 3.2. They say lots of bug fixes and some new features. Check it out at the OpenZaurus web site."

Great

This should fix lots of the bugs people have been having problems with in OpenZaurus 3.0, and hopefully OpenZaurus will become more popular mainstream now...



...because actually i'm just karma whoring and I never even heard of OpenZaurus until now.

1) I could never get it to play nice. You couldn't see the icons or button pictures correctly. It also tended to puke every now and then.

2) Finally I was able to install Konquerer ok. It appears to hit the sites w/o even a hiccup. I got it to work by installing as many libs as I felt might be needed to run Konq. Don't ask, I just picked them at random. I really don't feel like digging around in the ipkgs to find the damed dependencies.

3 or 2) There is always opiemail. I can't get it to work, but I probably didn't install enough libs or dependencies to make it work. As before, I am too lazy to figure out what they are.

4 or 3) I have only been able to get word and sheet to work. The rest...well I don't do presentations from my PDA :)

4 or 5) Dunno. I use alternative apps that work similar for less (free).

According to several posts on the OpenZaurus-Users mailing list, any problems w/ 3rd party applications should be posted as bug reports. OZ is supposed to be as compatible w/ Sharp's ROM for 3rd party apps. That is a pretty hard standard to keep at all times in my opinion.

All in all OZ 3.2 isn't bad, but if you only use your Zaurus for PIM stuff, I still say Sharp ROM is the way to go.
