#222189 — Is there a Debian oriented Rasberry Pi list

I've been thinking about what a handheld computer COULD be.
My image is heavily influenced by my recollection of Palm Pilot.

My needs include:
  >2 hours battery life
  4" by 7" nominal form factor
  touch screen input using a stylus
  display will be entirely character mode (40 chars/line would be OK)
  OS GUI not required except to say where stylus is
  OS shall be Debian {possibly with non-free drivers}

I've not found found user friendly selection guides.
A typical problem was not being able to know if a selection of 
components had mutually compatible I/O (electrical and physical).

A Debian oriented mailing list or USENET group where this would be on topic?
TIA

Hello,

maybe https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/

I had browsed that list. It would definitely be appropriate if I already 
had chosen specific Raspberry Pi hardware and needed help getting Debian 
installed/running. My current problem is selecting components which 
mutually compatible electrically and physically. When selecting between 
component-A and component-B, I would want to know  which was more Debian 
"friendly".
Thank you.

In my opinion uch a question would be be on-topic for debian-arm.

Kind regards,
Andrei

Thank you.

Not sure what you exactly want to achieve - the look or the functionality,
but I was thinking while reading your post about the Gemini PDA with the
Sailfish or some of the Sailfish community ports to various other hardware.

I was using Nokia N9 which was very close to debian (the MeeGo project) and
moved to the Sailfish after it morally served out.

I mean a smart phone is somehow ancestor of the palm pilot. I had the III
and V versions. This was my first portable notebook (literally) and it was
greatly integrated with the KDE3. Aaah nostalgy ... but the best experience
I had was with the N9 and the Sailfish on the Xperia X.

Perhaps a web search for something like:

portable raspberry pi


I know there are projects for making a laptop with 2 screens. it should 
be possible to make up a hand-held.

The size will be an issue for hand held, I'd reckon, but you may be able 
to print something a little more portable thatn the wooden gadgets I've 
seen so far. And no, I haven't made one. Maybe when this laptop gives 
up, and I am more patient.

I knew what I wanted was possible. The problem I ran into a year ago 
when I last pursued it was dearth of user friendly selection guides 
indicating which components were physically compatible. Specifically 
which displays were compatible with with which Pi's. I've accidentally 
discovered what part of the problem was. Historically there have been 
two different GPIO headers.
