Version 2.9.5.5 was released August 8, 2002. After that
the project became a Debian based embedded distribution
built from source. It is quite similar to other embedded
debian-based distributions, such as Familiar for the
Ipaq. This is still an open source Linux for the Sharp
Zaurus, using the latest available Opie. Ports of
OpenZaurus to other PDAs and/or other embedded systems
are imminent (as of January 28, 2003). OpenZaurus 3.1
release candidate 2 was announced January 24, 2003.

This site is a not-for-profit website. Costs to maintain the server and bandwidth greatly outweigh the revenue from advertising and visitor donations. To put it simple it is very expensive to run a download site with over 800 visitors per day. I, Mahesh Bisesar solely developed this site for your enjoyment and would appreciate any donations from its visitors.
