snippage from http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/About Mer is a new Linux operating system, built upon a thin base of Ubuntu Jaunty combined with the best open-source elements of Nokia's Maemo platform. The goals of Mer include: * Improving and developing parts of Maemo that are of interest to the Maemo community. * Making it easier to port existing desktop applications by hildonizing and adjusting them to the tablet form factor. * Encouraging third party experimentation and development. * Supporting tablet hardware no longer receiving updated OS software by Nokia. * Making Maemo a generic platform for all tablet devices, including non-Nokia ones. * Focusing Maemo community efforts in platform-related areas |

The list of applications looks impressive. I would also like to try this, but I do not see anything on the site regarding the Zaurus. When I get a moment I will have to figure out how to build it.
