BusyBox was specifically created for embedded operating systems with very limited resources.

While Neo900 may have more resources (CPU, RAM) than N900, it still has a limited battery. Besides, the-latest-upgraded-maemo would ideally be able to run on N900, too.

At the same time, I was wondering about https://i.imgur.com/iYSOTfL.png : where does BusyBox 1.23.1 come from?.. Does it work well with everything?

Thank you. Best wishes.
