With QtMoko you get a set of touch and screen size optimized applications using the Qt GUI toolkit running on top of e.g. Debian. > 2.

I think you can just do 'apt-get install lxde' and need some minor tweaks on the init scripts to switch between both. > 3. Does QTMoko offer all the software in the Debian repositories?
