I am amazed at exactly how quickly Alex from hackndev was able to get Linux running on the LifeDrive. It appears like the majority of the work only spanned 2 weeks. The Linux system is started utilizing Garux a bootloader that you run in the palm OS. Garux unloads palm OS from memory as well as boots the Linux kernel in its place. Alex has published GPE binaries of familiar Linux that should be truly simple to use. The touchscreen works, however since suspend isn’t working yet it’s still not practical as a stand alone environment.
