We don't support both kernels for one device, however. We have moved to 2.6 and basically dropped 2.4 support for devices with a stable 2.6 kernel. That said, you could always use an older version of OE (our metadata) to get 2.4 kernel support but everything is going to be older. > -compact flash slot with known compatibility with compact flash wifi cards > Any zaurus has this. > -as much community/OpenZaurus developer experience as possible; an older, > better understood device would be preferable to a more powerful, newer, less > understood one. > The only thing that would satisfy all of the above (assuming you mean years of experience) is the poodle. Then again, the devs haven't had many of these around until lately and it wasn't really fully supported. The 2.6 kernel is just going stable now. I would suggest a spitz myself. It's fairly new but has a 2.6 kernel and is well supported. -- Justin Patrin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
