Debian on the FreeRunner -- now official

Dear OpenMoko community,
The FSO packaging team of the Debian project is happy to announce that
we have started to provide installation procedures and packages
required to have your FreeRunner run Debian-powered.
This means that you can use your favorite tools such as apt-get and
the other >20.000 packages on your FreeRunner, including the
freesmartphone.org software stack. You can also develop applications
for your FreeRunner the "Debian way".
To install Debian onto your MicroSD card, alongside your current Image
on the internal Flash, see the instructions at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner
These will provide you with a minimal Debian installation plus
everything required to use zhone. From there on, you are free to
modify
your system as you wish – with the full power and flexibility of the
Debian system.
Note that Debian does not try provide yet another software stack (or
"Distribution" in the OpenMoko slang) next to 2007.2, 2008.8 or FSO,
but rather an alternative base, comparable to OpenEmbedded. We are
looking forward to also support other stacks such as the Stable Hybrid
Release, once they are ready for that.
[...]
