Familiar Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Familiar Linux is a Linux distribution for iPAQ machines and other personal digital assistants (PDAs), intended as a replacement for Windows CE on these machines. It can use OPIE or GPE Palmtop Environment as graphical user interface. Familiar Linux is a complete operating system with many applications.
[edit] Package system
The Familiar distribution provides user applications in the form of "ipkg" packages. This package system is similar to Debian dpkg.
[edit] Filesystem
Most contemporary PDAs use flash memory for storing user data. Familiar utilizes the JFFS2 filesystem, designed especially for such NAND memory devices.
