OpenZaurus 3.3.5 Released

giantsfan89 writes "The OpenZaurus group announced that version 3.3.5 has been released, featuring Opie version 1.03 and kernel 2.4.18-embedix. From the new newsletter: 'As one of the few people participating on all the three above mentioned projects I recently volunteered to write regular newsletters from the inside - to keep you people informed (also to stop you from saying our projects are dead or on hibernation ;-)). We're seeking contributors, that's true - but we're aliving and kicking!' The newsletter talked about kernel improvement including 'speedups, cleanups and better power management'. Of course, OpenZaurus runs on other PDAs including the HP iPAQ, the SIEMENS SIMpad, and the M&N Ramses."

Check out the docs and FAQs on the OpenZaurus website. Also here is a 'Why OpenZaurus' document.

I like OZ better because the PIM apps offer more to me than the normal apps. However, I haven't gotten the Hancom apps or Opera to work yet on OZ.

Opie 1.0.2, not 1.0.3

Slight error in article. Opie 1.0.3 was only released today, so isn't in OZ 3.3.5. They didn't have time to update it.

If Zaurus ships with Windows CE, well, then I guess OpenZaurus would be better if for nothing else than security.

The Zaurus does not ship with Windows CE. You must be new around here.
