and have just finished loading it up with my favorite applications. I would like to make this an easier task for others by posting some simple how toa’s on this page. This is a web site for non-techies such as myself who have a minimal knowledge of Linux and do not want to be entering arcane instructions at the Zaurus C1000 terminal. If you want a techie site, go to MeanieN’s Web Site.

In March 2005 the C3000 product was joined by the SL-C1000 which returned to the traditional 128 MB flash memory but lost the internal microdrive. The C1000 was cheaper, lighter, faster in execution due to running from flash memory, but of course would require the user to waste the SD or CF card slots to fit a memory card for mass storage; at the time the largest card supported was 1GB. Unfortunately, the C1000 cannot be upgraded to fit an internal microdrive because vital components are missing, but one intrepid Zaurus owner used the space to fit internal Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules using the USB host facility.

There is a port of OpenBSD for several Zaurus models.[1] The port is available on the SL-C3000, SL-C3100, and SL-C3200 with development continuing in order to expand support to the C860 and C1000. This port of OpenBSD does not however replace the original operating system entirely, nor is it made available as a ROM image, instead it uses the original Linux install as a bootloader and installs the same as OpenBSD would on any other platform. There is also a NetBSD port is in development, based on the work from OpenBSD.[2]
