FWIW, the best OpenZaurus is 3.1rc1.  It has fewer quirks and is more
stable than 3.0.  Warning: If you use aqpkg for the feed, use "testing"
and stay away from "unstable" (Think Debian feeds)

You'd probably get some good support if you asked around on
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openzaurus-users

ditto, irc.freenode.net #opie

I don't have a WCF12 but I'm planning on showing up for the installfest
on Jan 18 -- we could try it then.
