which linux to choose

Hi!

****My history with the device:

I just received a micro2440. I am a bit... lost.

I managed to connect to it via putty - there is a linux on it.
uname -a says "Linux FriendlyARM 2.6.32.2-FriendlyARM

However on the screen I only see a penguin and  
"Starting leds service..." with the prompt flashing...

I guess I have to get Qtopia going...

****

Anyways, I would like to develop some application onto it.
It should work with the following:

 - java
 - network with wifi
 - network with LAN
 - network with USB 3G stick
 - usb/serial stripe card reader (usb hid device)


And the question is:

WHAT LINUX FLAVOR SHOULD I TRY TO GET RUNNING ON IT?
 - friendlyarm linux + qtopia?
 - emdebian + icewm?
 - android?

Any help/suggestions are welcome/needed.

I like emdebian for the fact that you can add debian repository and get
lots of packages precompiled and ready to run.

As for the kernel, I think it's best if you compile it for your specific
needs.

Hi, 
I've found emdebian to be a little bit "slow/crappy" on the mini2440.

I prefer to use Angstrom as rootfs...

you can use the online builder to make an rootfs that will suit you.
It have repositories support (opkg/ipk not debian) with a good number of
software....
