So I'm going to be receiving my Zaurus 860 this week, and right now I'm "shopping around" for the right ROM for me.
Here's what I'm looking for:
-Japanese text input/output support
-Support for syncing with a Mac running OS X
-Support for CF USB Host adapters
-Some way to run X11 apps
I also have some questions, and they're going to be stupid, but I'm really wanting to learn:
-I'm assuming that when I choose and install a ROM, this will limit what IPKs I can run on my Zaurus, correct? If so, what are the best places for each ROM that I can grab IPKs from?
-I've heard that the Cacko Qtopia ROM allows for Japanese text input/output after a little bit of tweaking. Is this true?
-If I run a ROM like Cacko Qtopia or Sharp ROM, can I set up an X11 server anyway, so that I can run my X11 programs?
-Let's say, hypothetically, that I'm running the Cacko Qtopia ROM on my Zaurus (if you couldn't tell, this is what I'm leaning towards a.t.m.). However, I want to install and run a program that's meant for the Sharp ROM. Do I need to do anything special?
-Let's say again, hypothetically, that I'm running the Cacko Qtopia ROM on my Zaurus. Now I want to install and run a program that's built for the pdaX11 ROM. Is this possible? Can I just DL and run without any modification, or do I need to recompile it? Or, could I run it by just using X11? If I need to recompile, is it just a question of recompiling, or is it a question of modifying the code?
Any suggestions for which ROM I should use, and any answers to my other questions would be a huge help. I'm running OS X right now, so I have some basic *NIX understandings, but beyond that I'm not really familiar with it. Along with that, I'm pretty much new to the idea of dealing with multiple distributions and what I need to do to make a program work on one or the other.
Thanks!
