Alternative operating system support

In 2006 the Linwizard Project was started with the aim of replacing Windows Mobile with Embedded Linux and a GPE/OPIE window manager. The Linux kernel has been successfully booted, and Kdrive (X Windowing system) runs. The linwizard team is currently in the process of adding driver support for the various devices present in the Wizard. The latest devices working include the touchscreen and a GSM driver.{{cite web |url=http://linwizard.wiki.sourceforge.net/ |title=SourceForge.net: Linwizard - Develop |access-date=2009-01-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120710160105/http://linwizard.wiki.sourceforge.net/ |archive-date=2012-07-10 }}
