Now that the Internet Tablet from Nokia has been released, and because it is running a version of Debian Linux on it, wouldn't this be greate if DSL was ported to this device? Unfortunately, I am not a programmer so I am not sure where to even start. But I know there is an SDK available at < http://maemo.org > for the nokia 770. What do you guys think?

So Brian,  are you saying that DSL should run as is?
This would be great. Then, all one needs to do is to put DSL into the file system installation package for 770 and we are there!!

Anybody that can do this would become an instant hero!!

Keep in mind that DSL and KNOPPIX are based on the Intel ix86 version of Debian.

The Debian OS is available for many different types of computer hardware besided just IBM PC compatibles.  For example, PowerPC (MAC) and ARM (PocketPC).

So in some circumstances

DSL = KNOPPIX, but
DSL does not = Debian
