|
<P>For the people whose Wearable is based on a PDA, there is little
|
|
choice : most of the time they have to do with the PDA's manufacturer
|
|
OS, AFAIK Linux on Psion series 5 is not mainstream.
|
|
a commercial solution called WindStone primary targeted to palmpilots
|
|
with a project to port it to ARM based computers it is made by
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.oski.co.kr/">OSK</A>, so
|
|
and see. For
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.freebsd.org/~imp/pdamips.html"> Mips based PDA </A> type; some of them seem to be able to
|
|
run
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.netbsd.org">NetBSD</A> ( it is a member of the *BSD family of
|
|
unices running on a lot of platforms ).
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>For those using a PC derivative, the choice seems to be between
|
|
Microsoft products or Linux,
|
|
Well, Microsoft products are not exactly the best choice and
|
|
DEBIAN/GNU Linux is the winner ( I don't think that for general
|
|
purposes one has to use a posix .4 compliant kernel ).
|
|
<P>There is another contender
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.qnx.com">QNX</A>, but is more industrial oriented, so for
|
|
hobby or research it is not the best choice.
