would it jsut be matter of recompiling with the correct hardware support or would it need alot of code changes?
thanks

The whole point of using Linux is to be able to do as much as you want with your device, that is the beauty of embedded devices. It would be awesome to be able to dual boot into opie for PIM apps and the standard linux distro that comes with the GP2x. The ultimate handheld for media/gaming. You could probably easily work around the fact that there isn't any touch screen, I don't think using the joystick would be that much of a burden (ie. Blackberries). My biggest hope for the GP2x though would be wifi drivers for some SDIO cards. I would love to play some multiplayer NES on the GP2x, they already have that on the Zodiac.
