In this very second the installation process of Debian is running on my new OpenMoko which was in my postbox yesterday. I've already tried Debian on the device yesterday but I have to reinstall it since I bought an 8GB MicroSD today to have more space available. Debian is running fine, all packages of the distribution are available . You can run xfce and, of course, Emacs. Emacs is starting up quite slowly, but then it works smoothly. The keyboard is part of the display and, therefore, quite small; you have to handle it with a pen. But it's wonderful to be able to hack in some notes everywhere you go, especially if you are an addict of org-mode like me. But I wouldn't write a PhD thesis on the OpenMoko.
