Re: Arch Linux ARM on N900
It's the most complete and free mobile available. Someone should tell Richard Stallman. And it makes for a great Raspberry Pi alternative. I just ordered a second n900!

Thank you for this information. I'm wondering if you gave fluxbox a try. Fluxbox happens to be my favorite window manager. It is also extremely functional, configurable, and lightweight.
