Linux Boots on Treo 650

nilbog writes "A major leap forward has taken place in the development of Linux for the Treo 650. Grack.com has posted screenshots of a Cingular branded 650 displaying the familiar penguin logo. A discussion has sprung up over the the treo central forums where Shadowmite, one of the developers, has confirmed that it shouldn't be too long before they are able to get the phone's hardware working under linux.

Thank You Linux Virus

You spread onto all sorts of hardware, so it's not like anyone could write a decent operating system for them and compete.

Yes, I know my karma is going to suffer immensely for this, but it must be said. Linux spreads and spreads and spreads to all different sorts of hardware, but when are they going to slow down and open up space for other operating systems?

Why New Operating Systems Won't Stand a Chance

Something really should change, and it would be rather nice if Linux could stop spreading itself onto every last piece of hardware in the world.

Cool, a Treo with a real OS!

How on Earth did you get Linux to run on a platform designed for such a joke of an almost OS????

Congrats...now what to do with it?

Lovely, you ported Linux onto a PDAphone. Why? Why not try to load Windows on there. At least then you could have it do something more useful than stroke the ego.
