OpenZaurus
The OpenZaurus project was created as an
alternative ROM
image for the Sharp
Zaurus personal mobile tool. The original purpose behind the
project was to create a ROM
image (kernel + root filesystem) which was a bit closer to what
the developer
community specifically desired.
The method by which this was accomplished was simply to use the
Sharp ROM as a base and make alterations, bugfixes, additions
and even removals, where necessary, to make the package more
open.
Shortly after this, it was revamped completely. OpenZaurus is
now a debian-based
embedded distribution built from source, from the ground up.
Given its debian roots, it is quite similar to other embedded
debian-based distributions, such as Familiar for the Ipaq.
This means of doing things also facilitates an easy method for
users to build their own custom ROM
images.
