Familiar Linux was a Linux distribution for iPAQ machines and other personal digital assistants (PDAs), intended as a replacement for Windows CE on these machines. It can use OPIE or GPE Palmtop Environment as the graphical user interface. Familiar Linux was a complete operating system with many applications.

Origin

In May 2000, Alexander Guy took a kernel that had been worked on by Compaq programmers, built a complete Linux distribution around it, and released the first version of Familiar (v0.1). The distribution was a lightweight package with Python and XFree86 with anti-aliased fonts, used the Blackbox window manager, and included a new packaging system created by Carl Worth called "ipkg", similar to Debian's dpkg, allowing user applications to be installed and removed.

This next release was so far beyond what the Compaq team had built, that they decided to drop their own distribution and adopt Familiar as the new reference.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}}

Future

Familiar Linux has not been updated since 2007-03-08[1] and therefore could be classified as abandonware. Their Wiki returns a dead link.[2] Several contributors have shifted their efforts to the Angstrom distribution or OpenEmbedded.
