What I still don\'t understand is why this kind of Linux distribution could prevent you from switching to other OS or ROM?
This thread is nothing more than a call for participation to a global project. It\'s a call for all people whose have the same dream and whose want to take part in it.All other who don\'t like the idea already know that they can use every distro or rom they find out there to feed their zaurus.
Same strange idea for Sharp. Why should we care about how they would like the Zaurus OS to be or about their \'commercial strategy\'. They do what they want and you do what you want. As soon as this project will produce an OS that fill own common needs, I can\'t see what could be the problem ((feel free to not feel concerned if you don\'t like the community OS idea).
If the project is driven by a strong community, I can understand that it could scare you. It could be the case if you like for exemple a little rom that will perhaps die because of lacke of
user support. Same problem for companies working in the embedded area that could see in it some kind of \"loose of control\". It\'s evident that for some of them It\'s better to freeze this initiative (note that I used plural for companies).
Who want a powerfull embedded operating system for their PDA?
I read padishah_emperor message saying that he wants a powerful tools and not a PDA. Again, where is the conflict with a community project that (1.) will build a powerful device operating system (2.) will build a powerfull applications for PIM management (3.) will let you do whatever you wants (as you will still be free, won\'t you?).
Ok, let\'s start talking with the ones whose are interested. Do zaurususergroup.com or
www.killefiz.de/zaurus/ webmasters like the idea? What could be done? Someone else have ideas about what could be added to have something rock solid?
