ya HtheB...read that it's been around since 2010-ish...
How did it avoid our radar?
Crap ...

Someone has to have tried it...on an n900 ...since then...you'd think...

DeforaOS runs a NetBSD kernel on the N900. Very interesting.

https://github.com/khorben/khorben-n900

Page 53 of these slides mentions planned N9 support.

This guy is also involved in EdgeBSD and the N900 is in their plans (see slide 22).

PS: This thread probably ought to be moved to the OS/Alternatives sub-forum rather than Devices/Competitors.

ya since jelly hit with that bombshell...read that net and edge have done some work...
or rather some work has been done with them pertaining to the n900...
Been a while since I had some eyebrow raising material to read...

wonder if devel has stalled...
it has been a bit ...

@ wicket
agreed
+1 to moving this to alt os

I don't know about N900 development specifically but the DeforaOS GitHub repos are quite active and he is regularly cutting Phone releases.

Here's one for you endsormeans...

DeforaOS running on an N800 simulator (sadly this appears to be nothing more than a display simulator but you can always hope :D).
