All of which depends on the goal. Mine is to port and get functioning an existing inhouse application as quickly and painlessly as possible. I am not working on general purpose consumer software. I got it purely as a single use dedicated aerospace appliance. Don't get me wrong... it looks like a very nice notepad, but I acquired it as a platform for our existing software because for rapid turn around I need to just do to it what I do to any Linux platform. Before I had no choice except iPad and its walled garden that forces you to use it the way they want you to use it. I will be setting it up to compile and build ARM debian packages for our library and GNUstep front end and I will then install them and whatever else is needed. My intent is to have it up and running for our Monday afternoon electrical systems meeting. Nothing else on the machine matters; we could delete it all if space became an issue. For safety reasons I might even ended up setting it to come up into our program at the end of the start up process. As to updates... the next LTS is years away. I think we will have gone through a lot of these lovely little rectangles by then. > and as robie said, the ubuntu-phone list [3] is far more appropriate for > the phone and tablet installs where you also will find other users that > have experience with these things. Thank you for that extra tidbit. I had contacted the list owner to find out if they covered tablets as well. So the answer is yes. And so I will, as I will probably need advice on other things. Now I must get back to work. I've got subversion installed and I am about to suck in a working set of our toys.
