Well i have just tried www.redhotpawn.com on my Zipit Z2, Which is an ARM based
portable instant messenger hacked to run debian and that site work`s ok in the
Arora browser on the Zipit Z2, You can move the chess pieces etc.
The downside on the Zipit Z2, Is that it has only got a 2.8 inch 320x240 screen,
So the experience on the Z2 is very unplayable, Because of it`s screen.
I really don't want to hijack this thread, but I didn't know you could hack a Zipit to run debian. How difficult is it to do this? Also how well does it work?
Sorry about being off-topic...
There are quite a few guides around on how to do it, But this is the one i used.
Starts at 20:40
Once done, It works pretty well speed-wise, But as i have said i my previous post, The 2.8 inch
320x240 screen makes using it for serious stuff really awkward or nigh on impossible.
Btw: I am still using it first userland image mentioned in that video, But i have updated it a bit
and installed extra software through apt-get. I have not used any of the other userland images available
mainly because i could either not get them to work or they have been made for a specific purpose.
I would really love to use my debian enabled Zipit much more than i actually do and for more serious
stuff too, But sadly the small low-res screen really does prevent me from doing so.
As it is, It`s great for testing out what stuff works and just general mucking around, But sadly nothing more.
