I'm planning to buy a zaurus sl-c3200 (the latest zaurus 3xxx model).
Please note that you would be the first person. None of us have the
C3200 yet.
I had a look at the latest zaurus snapshot directories (on
ftp.openbsd.org) and saw that the choice of available pre-build
packages is highly reduced compared to i386.
Most stuff compiles. Much has not been tested, though
Is it possible to compile and install any applications of the ports
tree on a zaurus (for example firefox, thunderbird ...)?
Those two are pretty unreasonable on the Zaurus. It isn't that fast,
and it is somewhat lacking in memory. There is some work on minimo,
but it isn't completely reliable yet.
Does the ports tree system work as well on a zaurus as on the i386
platforms or may I encounter severe build problems?
As I said above, it is pretty good. But you have to be reasonable
about how fast and capable a Zaurus is.
Hi,
<dreaming>
For faster cpu, and many built-in goodies, I believe a similar cpu
(intel pxa270) is also used in the Qtek 9000 PDA:
http://www.qtekcorp.com/products.aspx?
Level1=1&Menu1=0&Model=22&Submenu=2
including:
Intel XScale @ 520Mhz
640x480x65k touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard
GSM/GPRS/UMTS radio; 802.11b radio;
64MB RAM (128MB ROM) + SDIO/MMC card for decent flash disk.
mini-USB, IRDA, bluetooth.
2x loudspeakers/headphone, 1.3Mp camera.
</dreaming>
obviously I'm aware cpu != machine etc etc.
I guess it would just be a case of buy 3 ( one for me, and 2 for obsd
devs) and hope that sufficient documentation would prevail...
