Jornada Linux Mobility Edition (Jlime for short) is a Linux distribution aimed for the HP Jornada platform . It was created in Late 2003 by Kristoffer Ericson and Henk Brunstin.
Its being developed using the OpenEmbedded build system.
History and name
The work on JLime began in late 2003 due to the need for a working Linux distribution on the HP 6xx Jornada platform. The idea behind JLime is a distribution that brings speed and portability to the Jornada.

In early February of 2006 the JLime site was renovated by the JLime forum user "chazco". A few months later the new Donkey distribution was released, and made JLime the only known Jornada Linux distribution with a working on-device installer (by users chazco and B_Lizzard).
Package management
JLime uses a minimalistic tool of APT called ipkg to handle packages (see package management system), it can install/remove/update through any existing internet connection or locally. Packages are downloaded from so-called feed repositories and dependencies are handled automatically.
