It appears to be widely accepted that the Linux desktop has achievedlimited success at best, while the Linux palmtop - in the form ofAndroid - has been wildly successful. The two classes of systems aregenerally thought of as being quite different, but it is worth rememberingthat the handsets we carry now have more computing power than the desktopsystems we were using in the recent past. Given the right peripherals, anAndroid handset should be more than capable of providing a reasonabledesktop experience. The Marudistribution is an experiment intended to prove that point by turning asmartphone device into a portable Debian desktop.
