Debian GNU/Linux
Debian is a universal operating system used on many other embedded devices, and also on home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's arm(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in.

Here comes some additional text to show you guys, how Template:DistributionBox will behave under heavy load of text. It is copied several times on purpose. This way you can see how layout would looke like if description of distribution is very complex or expanded.Here comes some additional text to show you guys, how Template:DistributionBox will behave under heavy load of text.

- Gennady Kupava proceeded onwards in his amazing work from overclocking FreeRunner (see Community Updates/2010-07-01) to speeding up Glamo graphics chip's timing settings: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-July/062495.html . As always, proceed with your own risk, but indeed this is not overclocking but pure timing settings tweaking similar to DDR latency settings in ordinary computer BIOSes.
- While ordinary users might stick to the venerable 2.6.29 ("andy-tracking") branch or try out 2.6.32, the newest development actually already happens in branches based on Linux kernel 2.6.34: http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/om-gta02-2.6.34 . Work done by Thibaut Girka, Lars-Peter Clausen, Thomas White and Martin Jansa - thanks to all effort by these guys, testers and other helpers!
- The 2.6.32 kernel branches at git.openmoko.org are not currently completely ready for end users. SHR maintains a big bunch of patches that are needed for some components to work: http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/linux/linux-openmoko-2.6.32
