Re: Familiar on the Desktop?

It is possible to run Familiar on a desktop machine but this would
require you to recompile all of the binaries for x86 rather than arm.
If you are looking for a good development enviroment for developing
apps to run on an iPAQ any of the popular Linux distributions should be
fine for that. As someone else mentioned in another post, Familiar is a
very scaled down distribition designed to run in the iPAQ's limited
resources. Short answer you could but you probably dont want to.
