So I notice that this "Open2X" is running SquashFS instead of CramFS. I remember theoddbot mentioning something about why he chose CramFS over SquashFS, but I don't remember the reasons.

cramfs was already in the source tree. squashfs needs to be patched in (not that it's hard).

You can download it from:
Archive with modified skin.
or
Art's Homepage with original skin.

Open2x is much more compatible.
Open2x has a nice boot screen.
Open2x is an open source project.

I be honest, and Im a techie type person, I find the lack of what I would call proper install instructions a big limiter on this. I would love to try it but Im not going anywhere near this until I understand exactly what is involved and so far read thing this thread its not obvious to me yet alone any one not techie...
Sorry Guys !

what do you mean with "much more compatible"?
about networking, what is currently possible via the usb cable? (is there a samba server?

No samba in it at the moment, it's basically got the same network functionality as the old Networking Firmware in the archive. It also has drivers for a USB WiFi stick.
And if you want the quickest boot time possible, I recommend you upgrade to art103's uboot. Stops all that nasty autobricking stuff too.

Edit:
P.S. My english is to worse to write a proper guide for you. So sorry for that. But you can ask precise questions, and I will help you.
E.g. Neocdgp2x works with open2x. In fact it is the only one I know, so perhaps "much more" is a little exaggeration. <_<

I've been a little nervous about updating my firmware to either Cramfs or Open2x. Does it upgrade the same way as the official GPH firmware? I've succesfully upgraded to 1.4.0 with no problem. I might then try to upgrade to Cramfs or Open2x. Which one is generally better? Are there any pros and cons between the two besides Open2x being one second faster in boot time and slightly better compatibility?
