	Its targeted to be PalmOS on top of Linux, not Linux on Palm.

	I hope they have the manpower to continue development internally,
though.. I seriously hope they don't think that just because they're going
to move their kernel to Linux, means that they're going to get
dozens of people writing their software for them, for free.

	That isn't going to happen, and especially since they've done absolutely
nothing to help the Free Software and Open Source community for almost a
decade now, even though we've repeatedly asked politely for help with new
hardware, devices, documentation and bugs we've found (and worked around)
in PalmOS from the sync and conduit side of things.

	They've got a LOT of good will to make up with the Free Software
and Linux communities before anyone trusts them.
