Full X11-Based Distro For PDAs

omin0us writes "over at http://cacko.zaurususergroup.com, we are working on a Full X11 based Linux distro for the Sharp Zaurus SL-c7x0/860 series of PDAs. The screen has a usable full VGA resolution of 640x480 and the distro uses Openbox/ROX Desktop as its Native WM. But others such as Fluxbox, Afterstep, and XFCE have been compiled for it and run nicely. You will also find a WIDE variety of compiled apps in the Feed on the Cacko website such as a native GCC Compiler, XMMS, Mplayer, prboom, Gimp, Gkrellm, Abiword and numerous others. Many different screenshots of it in action may be found here. This is truly bringing desktop linux to the PDA. Also, another project that has branched from Cacko Linux is Gentoo for Zaurus. This project, at the moment is based on the Cacko X11 environment, but will eventually become a full Gentoo environment. "It can emerge packages, sync, or create Gentoo packages using the -B switch in emerge." This should be an interesting project to watch."

    Okay.

    1. My site is gay.
    2. It's unoriginal
    3. My site sucks.
    In addition, I am:
    1. Gay
    2. Unoriginal
    3. I'm a bad programmer who hardly knows html let alone PHP / Perl

    By all means, please link any future personal Trolls about me directly to this comment, where anybody who thinks that I have anything valid to say will know otherwise.

    In fact, make your signature link to this. The world MUST BE AWARE of how stupid, gay and ignorant I am.

    You were right Sexual Asspussy. I'm a complete hack. And there's nothing I can do to change that.
