Don't be sorry :) I've done some. But the level of answered I obtained was half/half. It is easy to know it is linux based (even from debian woody), but not so easy to understand to what extend. For instance there is no page about someone who put a linux distribution on it. So it is not in the usual road of information I am used to search in for information about unix/linux. Thus, even after a couple of hours looking for informations about it, I havent't had too much of them. About the Nokia pages : I read a couple of them, technical pages and faq pages, and none of them gave me the kind of reliable and acurate informations I wanted. Sometime one have to do a first step inside, it is difficult to know just looking from the outside. In a couple of minutes I've got almost all the information I needed. And, also many information allowing me to know more, more easily; and where to look, and what kind of question to ask. However I appologise if I've polluted the bandwidth or tired the readers. And please don't be sorry, you haven't been too much straightforward, in any way. Thanks, FA > Yes, it is based on linux platform.
