Openmoko Linux is an operating system for smartphones developed by FIC. It is a general-purpose Linux distribution comprising various pieces of free software[1].
Unlike most other mobile phone platforms, the phones on which Openmoko Linux runs are designed to provide end users with the ability to modify the operating system and software stack. The platform is also supported by other mobile phones listed here: [2]
Openmoko Linux is part of the Openmoko project to create a family of completely open source mobile phones[3].

[edit] Components
Openmoko Linux uses the Linux kernel, GNU libc, the X.Org server plus their own graphical user environment built using the GTK+ toolkit and the Matchbox window manager.[4] The OpenEmbedded build framework and a modified version of ipkg package system, called Opkg, are used to create and maintain software packages.
[edit] Software Development
Native applications can be developed and compiled using the C or C++ programming languages[5].
