Lycoris Shipping Linux OS For Handhelds

Posted by timothy on from the cool-to-see dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "According to LinuxDevices.com, it appears Lycoris has put together an OS for handhelds like the iPAQ and Zaurus. It's based on the Open Source OpenZaurus and OPIE projects, so it should look pretty familiar to Linux-on-PDA fans."

    ...Lycoris is still based on Caldera, the Anti-Linux. Granted, it's their own fork of Caldera, but it's tainted nevertheless. I used to really, really like Lycoris, but I can't recommend it even to n00bs because it's got the Darl whiff now.

    I hope Joseph Cheek gets hip and moves the code base to a more appropriate one. Debian would be a good choice.
