Re: General questions about the N900
a good start would be to look at a source based distro like gentoo, if a package has a number of architectures then it will likely be able to be ported faster.
You may even be able to cross...

Re: Quake 3 on N900

Re: Quake 3 on N900
if quake3 can be run does that mean stuff like return to castle wofenstine can also be run, Q3 was mostly about running about with a rocket launcher to my memory while RTCW was a true classic.

Re: how about a solar charging case for the n900?

Does anyone think a case with a solar panel on the back...
