1. The OpenZaurus project was aimed at building a kernel and filesystem for the Sharp SL-5000d and SL-5500. Version 2.9.5.5 was released August 8, 2002. After that the project became a Debian based embedded distribution built from source. It is quite similar to other embedded debian-based distributions, such as Familiar for the Ipaq. This is still an open source Linux for the Sharp Zaurus, using the latest available Opie. Ports of OpenZaurus to other PDAs and/or other embedded systems are imminent (as of January 28, 2003). OpenZaurus 3.1 release candidate 2 was announced January 24, 2003. Handhelds/PDA based distribution. From LWN Distribution List
