Ångström Distribution

This is the wiki page for Ångström, the next-generation Linux distribution for handheld computers.

This wiki is hosted on linuxtogo.org to avoid duplication and make linking to other linuxtogo wiki pages easier. There are no plans to switch to another wiki.

We have a few important rules:

1. You will search the wiki first and read the FAQ before asking questions.
2. You must read and follow the steps in the documentation precisely.
3. Those who ask the questions, update the wiki when they get the answers.
4. Those who complain about the documentation, update the wiki to make it better.

5. A bug only exists if it's reported in the bugtracker

6. When in doubt, file a bug report in the bugtracker
