</div>There's actually a Debian based distro (using dpkg & apt rather than opkg)<br>
called Hackable-1 that is under development at the moment that installs to,<br>
and boots off, the SD card (needs 2GB or better).<br>

This might be more what you are familiar with. The developers are working on<br>
making it dist-upgrade'able at the moment, but for now just repartition your<br>
SD card, install the tar balls from the site, join the user list and wait for<br>
the announcement that dist-upgrade'ing is working.. ;-)<br>
<br>
Pros:<br>
<br>
- Debian! apt-get! shiny! ;-)<br>
- Excellent audio quality (for outgoing calls at least)<br>
- Abiword<br>
- TangoGPS<br>
- etc<br>
<br>
Cons:<br>
<br>
- No method for suspending yet<br>
- Battery meter and apm non-functional with default kernel<br>
- Drinks battery (no suspend!)<br>
- Can't import contacts into the PIM application (Evolution data server)<br>
<br>
Personally I'm dual booting my Freerunner now with Qt Extended 4.4.2 in flash<br>
as the work-a-day phone and Hackable-1 off the SD card as an experiment.<br>
<br>
cheers!<br>
