The interface uses the Hildon library which is an extension of GTK. Nokia is actively participating with the Gnome group. Please see http://www.maemo.org. For applications, see http://www.maemo.org/downloads. You can install XTerm, ssh into your computer, etc. There really is no reason to install a different linux; the linux on it is just fine. There may be some argument to place a newer/differently compiled linux kernel onto the device, and some have done that. --Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
