So what is the smallest practical device that will run F12 ?
How else could one run apps like Evolution and Contact on a small device ? Could they be made to run on a Symbian device ? What about Android ?
Thanks
The nokia N900 runs debian, you can open a terminal, tweak the sources and install things via dpkg. I have a co-worker that has one - it's pretty impressive.
I felt foolish posting this question but now I am very glad I did.
Is the n900 running Debian out of the box or did your friend load it with Debian ? Is Maemo Debian ?
What Linux apps will it run ? Does it have Gnome/Qt/KDE ? It must support Qt apps because Nokia bought Qt.
Has anyone here fooled around with putting mainstream Linux apps on the N900 ?
It's Maemo Debian, came that way out of the box I've read a few posts about folks installing mainstream apps on it with success. I dont think it has KDE/Gnome, it's a touch-screen maemo specific interface.
I'll know more in the coming weeks, Mine is due to be delivered today
