Subject: RE: OpenZaurus on H2200 Series

So then what is the preferred environment for Linux on H2200. It sounds
like there are several: Familiar, GPE, OpenZaurus and some others I've heard
of. Do I have this wrong or are these actual environments. If they are
which is the preferred.

The Sharp Zaurus and the Open Zaurus have in common the Zaurus name
only. They're quite different internally. OpenZaurus is built using
monotone and bitbake, Sharp Zaurus, afaik is not. Familiar uses a
similar mechanism to generate images. It uses monotone and bitbake,
but using different montone/bitbake versions and recipes. Also a lot
of important arch decisions make openzaurus and familiar different
internally.

You won't find an official release for OpenZaurus for h2200, but as
reported earlier, someone had success building an image of openzaurus
for h2200.
