Glen,

Your best bet is the Dutch Trendtac user group... I have found that
gang a very helpful bunch and with the most advanced "hacking"
experience:
http://trendtac.hyves.nl/
There are a couple of thread there, specifically "Apps" and "Games"
which have a collection of interesting stuff, mainly for me VNC viewer
and Doom (!)

Your first port of call though should be this website which has a
small collection of useful software:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jostht/epc/
Ultimately you can grab and convert Debian Lenny mipsel packages
(http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages) to .xap format (the OneT's
format) with "mkxap" script available at the URL above. In short the
procedure is as follows on either a Linux box, through the OneT's
xterm or root console or in a Cygwin prompt:

1. go to a new directory, i.e. "mkdir temp", "cd temp"
2. download the .deb package from the Debian website
2. expand the .deb package with "ar -x <package name>.deb"
3. uncompress the data.tar.gz file "tar zxvf <package name>.tar.gz" in
its component directories
4. repackage the file as a .xap "mkxap <package name> directories
5. you can now go to the Software installer and install the .xap
and .info files from the "temp" directory

Please remember to check for dependancies for the Debian packages on
download page as you may need to convert those too for the binaries to
work.
It's a clunky process but I have succesfully converted a couple of
programs and it is a whole lot simpler than building a cross-compiler
environment and make your own binaries! ;-)

On the other hand there are a number of wiser people than me out there
working at getting proper debian running on this low-spec gadget and
that will make it a lot more useful.

Bear in mind that run-of-the-mill techies are not enough for hacking
this gadget... you'll need people with experience of building software
on non-x86 cpu. Or just a lot of Googling and trial and error (I'm in
this category)

Best of luck all
Regards
Dario
