If you like andlinux better, you should also look at SpeedLinux that replaces the andLinux kernel with a more recent one (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetzlinux/" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetzlinux/</a>).<br>

Is there anyone on the Linux-IL mailing list with actual experience with<br>
CoLinux, and who can tell us whether such a solution is stable and works<br>
well for demanding tasks (such as audio and video processing and<br>
displaying)?<br>
