Hi - i\'m confused! Can someone please tell me is there a difference between Cacko 1.21 and Pdaxrom 1.05? if so why does cacko.biz link to pdaxrom.org?

My wish - to have a Command & Conquer style game on my Z! (FREECNC!!!) Simcity 2000 would also be great.

cacko was the original name for the organization.  They orignally contributed to the zaurus community with things like their version of the sharp based rom (cacko 1.21 is the latest version).  Recently they have started a project with an X11 based ROM.  The project is so popular and promising that they have renamed themselves to pdaXrom.

There is a way to run X11 apps within qtopia.  Search for xqt.
