Concept
The main concept is the use of LXDE and Zhone which is embedded in the background and the whole is based on Debian/FSO as a subsystem. This distribution has the aim not only to be fully finger friendly, but also to give you a full featured desktop environment.
Features
- completely fingerfriendly
- window based environment
- three new Zhone themes
- preinstalled applications (Woosh, Pidgin, TangoGPS, Wifi-Radar, EpdfView, Mokomaze, CellHunter)
- it fits on the 256MB NAND flash
Installation
- download latest release
- flash the image and the kernel with NeoTool
- optional: make use of the latest patch
Usage
Buttons
- AUX (short press) shows the keyboard
- Power (short press) suspends the Neo
Recommendations
- use the recommended Kernel
- make and use a swapfile on your µSD (warning: this may destroy the µSD card after uncertain time)
- save the TangoGPS map files on the µSD as there is little space left on the NAND
