- Sharp SL-5000D or SL-5500 running the Crow ROM. Other devices which I don't have.
- 2006-06-14 - The author hasn't had time since late 2005. It works to the point of allowing
apt-get dist-upgrade
and using the standard Debian repositories. Qt and X.

Ubuntu > Zaurus Ubuntu - zUbuntu
- 2010-05-27 - Abandoned - Doesn't work for me with it on an SD card and the systems on a CompactFlash card. I emailed the author through his website but got no response. But since the project hasn't been touched in a long while, I don't know if it's still alive.
