Debian might be the fastest, but it's the most difficult to get working.

Yes, over at UMPCPortal.com.....
although i m not sure that umpcportal is as good as oesf
Well, didn't say that it was.....
Quote from: Capn_FishYou mean the Z feels more tweakable/hackable? That's my current impression, but I'm thinking that with Angstrom on the N810, it ought to feel the same software-wise as my Z.I was reading that there is unused 3D acceleration hardware on the N8*, which seems kinda silly that Nokia never has used it if it is there. And the performance of the Quake port on that device is not very impressive. My guess is they don't have any super geeks like sashz over there.
don't worry, he'll be back... or at least he'll get a nokia tablet!
This one works pretty well.Quote from: jpmatrixhello zaurus users,
this is probably one of my last visit to the oesf forum... i've finally sold my zaurus C3000 (bought in january 2005!) and i bought a fujitsu u1010...
good bye to all people here and thank you for your help !
so keep up the good work, you know you have the best (pocketable!) device ever

Another one bites the dust ... ... you'll be missed ... though, do come around ya?
I presume you are lovin the u1010? ... I'm going the eeepc route ... and once everything transition over ... the zaurus days are numbered.
PS: Only thing preventing the eeepc from fully taking over the zaurus, is a proper timer app so that I can also use the eeepc as a timer / alarm. As it is, the zaurus is one notch lower than the palm pda I had. It had the BigClock app which to date, is THE BEST timer / alarm / clock app I've ever used.
Hi :-)Quote from: ecc_hyzaurus is total different with iphone.
iphone is modern, suitable for end user, supported by commercial company now.
As a linuxer, those advantages of iphone is not the whole world.
I agree :-) ...
iPhone is nice and pretty ... but closed (source) and bundled (with itune) ... I buy my CDs DVDs in store NO download !
my c860 is open and I like to develope on / for it ... have alternate free software ... no bundling with closed access

Another detailed comparison of the Eee and the Cloudbook:

Probably no one will bother to compare when the 900 is out, not even a chance ...
Don't need QT4 at all. Why would you think so? Of course, it will be compiled for the Z. How is the OSS software on that i-phone?
I offer for when people go "Now where did I see that Sylpheed ipk...Oh, yeah. It was in Capn_Fish's feed. Now I need it and can't get it!"
Quote from: BarryWThe most straightforward install is from the TitchyLinux site. However it gives you a hybrid system with an EABI kernel and an OABI filesystem.
Where is the best how-to for getting a working debian??
However I do not know that the ambicom cards work and this method needs a working network. So it may be a non-starter for you. However searching the pinned thread with the title Debian Arm on C3XXX for ambicom might help.
That thread will solve your installation problems if the ambicom works on TitchyLinux. I suspevct it does because I believe that ZDevil did start out with TitchyLinux.
Assuming you get a working system with TitchyLinux and your ambicom the contents of the interface file should give you some help with moving on to the EABI versions.
I have to say that there I did a lot of floundering about in getting to the EABI stage. The later threads do seem to be offering slightly more friendly procedures though.
Myself, I'm going to wait a bit longer in the hopes that there will be an official EABI/armel Debian soon which can be installed the Titchylinux way.
Good Luck!
Okay. How did you install your debian? Which rootfs and kernel are you using?
Can you using some terminal apps that supports copy and paste? If not, then direct the dmesg output to a text file on a card and paste it out is also an easy way.
@BarryW
Basically two most crucial things about getting a wifi card working are: the network interface setup, and the driver used.
Perhaps it helps here if you can:
-- Pull out the card
-- Insert it
-- Run "dmesg" in the terminal
-- Post the output here.
The dmesg output will give a lot of relevant information.
And what kind of connection are you using? WEP, WPA or no encryption (!)?
Also are you running OABI (such as titchy) or EABI?
I am also using Ambicom WL-1000C. It just works without any painful tweaking (except after firmware upgrading failed yesterday and something weird happened, but it's fixed now). This card uses prism 2.5 firmware and runs with hostap driver.
