Testing distributions
I have had so many distributions loaded, the poor thing must be very confused.
Openmoko says that the "way forward" is FSO but it's just a framework right now.
OM2008.12 - Now built on QTopia so still probably a good choice for me.
FSO - just a framework, not usable for anything except development. Illume
SHR - FSO + some extras - "S" is for stable but it's not done yet! Phone works. There was no "testing" rootfs so I used the "unstable" (it was the only choice!) Illume SHR
Android - Phone app crashes every 30 seconds. UI seems a bit lightweight. Seems like a toy to me.
QT Extended - very nice but lacks an ssh server. Seems very solid and user interface is good. Could not find WiFi support. (Perhaps I just need extra packages for ssh and wifi?)
FDOM - too much cruft, like the name says "Fat and Dirty", cluttered UI Tried it out last year around August.

Gentoo - have not tried it; hard to believe, huh?
