Hello SuSE folkz, I have a wired question. May be Lenz will be able to answer it. Is SuSE planning to port it's distro on Pocket PCs and PDAs. I saw a couple of pocket Linux projects on http://www.pocketlinux.com but they mostly derivatives from Red Hat and Debian distros. Is there any chance to get SuSE on Pocket PC in the future?
I not sure I understand the question. The pocketlinux software is available in rpm and deb packages which is probably the source of the confusion, as they refer to the packages as Red Hat and Debian. As I understand it the two packages are the same it is just a matter of package format. The real difference comes in with the kernels since these are highly specialized machines and are often different chipsets. I think pocket linux is it's own unique distro since it is so different from a "standard" install (standard meaning PC, workstation, server etc.) Another site you might find interesting is here http://embedded.centurysoftware.com/ They seem to have teamed up with the microwindows/nano-X project. I found it yesterday while doing my daily reading at alllinuxdevices.com and linuxdevices.com Later, Tim
