Thoughts on usabilty on FreeRunner
Today I installed Debian onto my Neo FreeRunner, to be precise the relatively new, Debian based community distribution FYP, which basically combines FSO/Zhone with LXDE. As it is a very new distribution, this post can't really critisize it, it's just about writing up some things I noticed and some ideas regarding usability on the Neo Freerunner—rather regardless of the distributions. FYP is just the drop of water inspiring to write this, the first two paragraphs will be Debian related, so you can probably skip them if you're in a hurry.

"Openness" vs. "Usabilty" - Round 1
The headline might be confusing, actually this is something like a “virtual” fight, which is ought to point out the differences between an open device like my recently aquired “Neo FreeRunner” and the T-Mobile G1 I have for a short time, too. In a way this is a kind of reply to—or at least inspired by this post by FSO/OpenMoko/OpenEZX developer Stefan Schmidt.

First impressions of Openmoko Neo FreeRunner
Recently I bought a defected FreeRunner from eBay, the articles description just said, that it had stopped starting up some days ago. I wouldn't have bought it, if it wouldn't have been quite cheap: I won the auction and had to pay ~53 euros including shipping—I had seen another defected FreeRunner with a similar defect priced far higher after all.
