You should visit the old WiKi, unfortunately the migration to the new wiki hasnt yet finished and major parts are missing. 11.2 has been documented fairly well in the old wiki, including older releases.

Actually it has been possible to do a dup since 10.3, but it wasnt a supported option untilll 11.2. On my main desktop I have been upgrading since 10.3 and on my laptops since 11.0.

Nokia Leaks Phone With Full GNU/Linux Distribution 621

Posted by kdawson on Friday August 21, 2009 @10:30AM from the rocket-in-your-pocket dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It is now clear why Nokia has been so slow with S60 updates: the upcoming N900 just left everything else in the dust. Unlike Google's Linux platform, Nokia is not intentionally breaking compatibility with real distros, choosing instead to bring you the unmatchable power of GNU/Linux on your phone. This is the most awesome device I have ever seen: MAP3 CPU/GPU, 3,5" 800x480 touchscreen, keyboard, Wi-Fi, HSPA, GPS; 5-MP camera, CZ lens, 32 GB storage, SD slot; X11, VT100 terminal emulator, APT package manager. Estimated price without credit: $780 (N.5800: $390, iPhone 3GS: $750). Developers should note that even though the current desktop is still GTK+, Qt will be standard across all Nokia platforms in the near future (less powerful phones will use Qt on the Symbian kernel). Users can download flashing software from Nokia, and patches can be submitted at the Maemo site."
