Wow! How did EnvisionDev grow to 900MB? The last time I built it it was 490MB  Synapics will be impossible to put in (this is a SuSE OS, not a Debian one). Does anyone know of any other rapid Linux development studios that make Debian or Ubuntu OSes?

I kinda like Logisim for small projects, but this is much bigger.

I'm thinking about the hardware and stuff...a VERY simple prototype (something like a screen (maybe), arrow keys, and an enter button) could be coming up in a month, or later, so please be patient!

There are also plenty of users that just don't do ANYTHING.  What does [name replaced] AxeWiki do?

Nice seeing you again uberspire! Hope everything goes well for the UberGraphX  And thanks for the tips! I might be able to help a little bit with the UGX, but probly not much.

I think I'll go with Voyager 200 shape (but no QWERTY keyboard). And I got a reply from uberspire, he doesn't think he can help me much, but he did give me a nice list of things to know to make a Linux OS for a graphing calculator. 1) Get comfortable and learn how to use Linux. Have a strong understanding of how things are organized or how they work under Linux.
2) Learn C. If you don't have much experience with programming, learning C might seem difficult. There are lots of free tutorials if you Google "C programming tutorials". A good book ($20 used): http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-2nd-Brian-Kernighan/dp/0131103628/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309227849&sr=8-1
3) After learning C, learn how to build a GCC toolchain. I'm assuming that you're trying to use a ARM processor, right? You'll need to build a GCC toolchain that'll compile for ARM targets.
4) Learn about ARM architecture, or at least have a strong basic understanding of microprocessors and how computers work internally.
5) Have an understanding of electronics and hardware. You said you want to modify the TinyCore to work with graphing calculator buttons. What you'll need to modify is the kernel. More specifically the drivers bundled with kernel. You might even have to write some drivers yourself, it'll depend on the hardware. A strong understanding of the hardware and electronics will be necessary to write the missing pieces of code to make the Linux kernel work on your hardware.

I like the clamshell design, but I think the 84+ shape is the best bet.
Still, what should I have accessible through 1 or 2 button presses, and what should I have accessible through menus?

I'm going to need some help. What buttons/functions should be on the keypad, and what functions should just be accessible through menus?

I love the 8bit music  I have to get Pokemon Red/Blue/Green/Yellow just to listen to the music.

I hope it will come back later on. If it's still of any interest for you you should try to talk to Uber Spire for the Linux stuff.
I'll contact him. Thanks! EDIT: Sent him an email. Hope to get a response.

This project is on hold for as long as it takes me to learn C and how to completely customize the GUI of Linux (TinyCore) to make it work for a graphing calculator. Help would be appreciated. More details later. EDIT - OK I HATE SUGARCOATING THINGS. This project is dead. EDIT2 - Contacted uberspire, maybe he could help me.

Wow, I might just make a DreamPad for programming...Although I want to make a standard tablet computer running UNR2D 10.10.

The OS looks like an old File Manager...
I think that's all it is.
