Openzaurus 3.0 Released 12
numatrix writes "The first major stable version of OpenZaurus was released today. The 3.0 build offers the stability of the official Sharp ROMs, the freedom of open source, and a number of features the Sharp ROMs lack. Most importantly, the built-in 16MB flash ROM area of the PDA is read/write, instead of read-only as the sharp ROM uses it.
A community effort, the only piece that isn't open source is the SD driver module taken from the Sharp ROM since no OS equivalent exists. The updated ROM also includes the newest version of Opie, the opensource fork of Qtopia, Trolltech's embedded version of QT, and will soon include PicoGui and X support."

while still not as polished or featureful as it might be, and with some usability problems here and there,
it's definitely better than sharp's attempt. Some nice UI tweaks, APT-style ipkg repository fetching, lots more packages. Very nice.
