	Goal here is to determine the best route ~~from~~ installing an open source operating system for a phone on a small computer like the [[Raspberry Pi]] or [[Beagle Bone]].		Goal here is to determine and implement the best route for installing an open source operating system for a phone on a small computer like the [[Raspberry Pi]] or [[Beagle Bone]]. This is both an open hardware And libre software question.

	The reason for the phone is that telephony is a widely popular use case for microcomputer devices. It is useful to run a phone via internet phone protocols, or through cellular protocols. WiFi telephony can occur at no cost wherever an internet connection can be found. Cellular telephony is an on-the-go and emergency use case wherever there is no internet.

WiFi telephony can occur at no cost wherever an internet connection can be found. Cellular telephony is an on-the-go and emergency use case wherever there is no internet.

	The main reason for the open source hardware/software phone is to produce the lifetime design phone, which thus has good lifecycle material stewardship embodied in its design. An open source phone can be maintained by the user for as long as the user requires, as opposed to being a throwaway good once some part breaks. This is good for the environment, as society builds in material stewardship into the economy.
