Great... an aside from your email, I think this Debian stuff on
Freerunner rocks... it's a working distro port that does not need Open
Embedded, I only wish I heard about it earlier: evidently my fault for
missing it.

When I get some time I will try to bring X up on it and get a feel for
just how "heavy" the real deal is on this platform, but regardless
having a full proper OS on there obviously meets some usage cases for
this device already.

Before that I will also try to meddle around and install some more
packages like wpa_supplicant on that default install and publish an SD
image somewhere so it is easier to try, assuming this doesn't make
license trouble (and it didn't exist already).

|   Now this gets me wondering whether the Freerunner could sustain an
| Openstreetmap editor for realtime map-making :-)

Somebody did some work in this direction but I don't have the URL.
