[PD] Open alternative to RJDJ?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey,

I don't know if you have been following the Reware project, but that  
is a core idea of it.  Check out our first HOWTO for an intro:

We got some Palms and iPaqs going, then there is the Nokia  
Webtablets, iPods, and the BeagleBoard.  Gumstix are also possible, I  
have one, but I haven't had a chance to work on it yet.  Our core  
idea is to make a whole linux distro with Pd, Python, and Lua that  
has nothing at all running, except your code.  Something like Arduino  
for hacking PDAs.

It is also possible to install Pd-anywhere packages on a number of  
existing distros, like Maemo, Familiar, Angstrom, etc.
