I didn't know webOS could do that. Maybe webOS could replace my Maemo N900. I have a Debian chroot on my N900 (with OpenOffice, GIMP & Apache) but don't use it

I didn't know webOS could do that. Maybe webOS could replace my Maemo N900. I have a Debian chroot on my N900 (with OpenOffice, GIMP & Apache) but don't use it that much.
Other Linuxy things that I use my N900 for that I'd like to know if webOS could do:
- vnc server
- all the usual ssh port tunnelling / forwarding stuff
- bash
- cron
- git
- curl / wget / nmap
- software repositories (Maemo uses apt)
- python / ruby / php
(Not trying to say mine's better than yours, I'd just like to know if webOS might be for me as my N900 is getting old)
- rsanchez1 15y agoYes, you can do a lot of those things, but over homebrew. You can install ipkg-opt, which will give you access to the nslu2-linux optware packages. It's no apt, but you can still use it to install packages. From the optware packages, you can install python/ruby/php, install a vnc server (although I think there are some homebrew apps for that), install git, cron, and a lot of the standard programs you would expect in a standard linux installation. I'm not sure on ssh port tunneling/forwarding, but curl/wget come installed on webOS.

- dave1010uk 15y agoWebOS is looking really good. Can anyone point me to an architecture diagram along the lines of [1]? The best one I could find was [2], which doesnmt give many details.
