Running Linux on an iPAQ (IBM developerWorks)

[Posted September 14, 2004 by ris]

IBM developerWorks installs Familiar Linux on an iPAQ. "Familiar is available for download in three distinct user flavors (a fourth, developer-only, flavor with no GUI is also available). Each of these flavors consists of the same kernel and base system but with different GUIs. The analogy in the desktop Linux world is installing a distribution such as Red Hat or Mandrake and getting a choice of desktop environments, such as KDE or GNOME. Indeed, once you start to look at the options, you can see that the similarities to different desktop environments run even deeper."
