[ILUG-Cochin.org] Debian GNU/Linux on OpenMoko

[Sameer Mohamed Thahir]

Hello All

The openmoko can be used with Debian GNU/Linux thanks to the pioneering 
effort of the
the FSO packaging team of the Debian project.

Dear OpenMoko community,

the FSO packaging team of the Debian project[1] is happy to announce
that we have started to provide installation procedures and packages
required to have your FreeRunner[2] run Debian-powered.

This means that you can use your favorite tools such as apt-get and the
other >20.000 packages on your FreeRunner, including the
freesmartphone.org[3] software stack. You can also develop applications
for your FreeRunner the “Debian way”.

To install Debian onto your MicroSD card, alongside your current Image
on the internal Flash, see the instructions at
	http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner
These will provide you with a minimal Debian installation plus
everything required to use zhone. From there on, you are free to modify
your system as you wish – with the full power and flexibility of the
Debian system.
