Hi guys. I am interested to know if there are any other GNU/Linux OS' that I can install on my Wiz; for example, Damn small Linux etc, or a window manager of some sort. I am more curious about how this can be used as a general pocket device, not so much into the games side of it. Can Fluxbox be installed?. Thanks

PS: Zipit Z2 device (US) has MUCH lesser specs than Wiz, and can run Fluxbox :) (and it is ARM)
 
It _can_ be done (ie: we've got a working kernel and more-or-less sources for it), so the distro side can be done. (In fact, numerous people have done experiments .. getting a barebones distro up and going.) But there are no projects running with it offhand (not that I've been watchighn for it, but I think I'm right.)

I'm surprised no one brought open2x over :)

Could you send me a link to the files?. I take it I'd just extract/boot from them on SD, same as usual?. Thanks.

As I said "not that I've been watching it". Kernel sources are out there, fire it up ;)

I haven't a CLUE how to do any of that compiling kernel stuff - I am a kernel n00b
