Yeah, I just talked to a few friends moments ago and it seems that at least among the tech savvy (who are more likely to try open source software anyway), jailbroken iPhones are more like a norm than exception. > But to put open source on iphone seems to be a little bit luxury.

What if they are open source instead? That would have been much better right? It's the same as having open source software on Windows (like Firefox), just that it's on the iPhone OS X instead. I'd completely agree with you if we are talking about, well, installing Linux kernel on an iPhone, there are much better choices out there for that (I hope the reason you--not Alfred, I mean you in general--want to install Linux on any phone is that you want to improve your experience with it, not just for the sake of, well, having Linux). -- Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
