I have recently determined a new path for my Z. Due to circumstances I'm now using a G1 as my PDA. I want to make my Z more of a palmtop. Which distro best supports this? Angstrom, PdaXRom, or OpenZaurus??? I'd like to have hdsc support and perhaps do a 32GB cf replacement of my microdrive(if it's advantageous). I'm hoping to someday teather to my phone for all connectivity.

Any suggestions or warnings of potential potholes with these choices is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I can only really suggest that you actually try them, to be honest.

Angstrom's really for hard-core hackers and they seem to have lost interest in supporting the Z.

Zubuntu and debian offer some semblance of normality.

not sure whether there's a pdaXrom variant that has a kernel with SDHC in it.

the largest ROM for cacko can only take a 4GB sd card, and that's the slightly non-standard pre-SDHC versions of the card!
