Linux on Magician

[HyperMalac]

Hi Wizkidz, Magician Junkies, HTC Hacking Staff, and all!

Is there possible to put Linux OS to the Magician? If so, I can do it in the same way like BA? I want to try it, but I'm not sure it is possible, and if it is, will it be stable?

Waiting for replies....

Thanks for the link.
I've already saw it somewhere, but I'm not sure that is possible on Magician. You know that a lot of PDAs supports WM5 but Magician isn't. So I think it is possible on some devices, but not sure on Magician.

Any experiences?

I don't know about those guys, but I've found a "good try":

If you follow that, it boots graphical GPE and you have access to a number of applications.
The touchscreen works, but the whole thing is quite unstable on my pda - the apps keep crashing on launch - and AFAIK there is absolutely no support for phone capabilities. The sound driver is also gone. Bluetooth seems to work out of the box.

But as I said, it looks like a nice try, with a lot of potencial.
