list of handhelds good for linux?
hi, isn't linux tight? Though I would change the mascot. Who likes a frozen chicken as a mascot? I'm kidding. Anyway, What I need is a list of known powerful handhelds that have linux ported to them. I'm looking for a handheld that lends itself well to gamming and also video in addition to providing an environment similar to a PC. Pocket PC and PalmOS like shells are about as lovable as a Matrix sequel.
I'm inlove with handhelds like the oQo and ultra small notebooks. But I had the realization yesterday that I don't need windows on a handheld when linux is on everything.
I was hoping for linux on the PSP, and I came across the site: psp-linux dot org
To quote that site...
"if we have any problems with fanboys/droolers, we will delete the mailing list from public view, and continue development privately."
Now that sounds like middleschool mentality, so I wonder if these guys are legitimate.
also the following site: linux-mips dot org
In the "Linux support" section:
"There is none and there won't be any despite some people's foolish claims and attempts. The hardware lacks a TLB and as such is too primitive to run a real Linux kernel. µClinux would be a potential alternative but that would mean no binary compatibility with existing Linux/MIPS."
What does that mean in regard to running linux on the PSP? And if this is a huge barrier, could we not use linux on top of software reworked and derived from the Bochs emulator, so instead of emulating a PC, its just used to emulate the portions of a PC that a psp doesn't provide?
I invite everyone's opinion and insights, aslong as they are not direct criticism of me.
thanks!
