Nokia's N900[1] is a relatively open smartphone running the Maemo distro[2] which is roughly based on Debian Etch. Moblin[3] is a distro mostly by Intel which is/was primarily for Netbooks. If you haven't heard the news[4], Intel and Nokia have agreed to merge the Maemo and Moblin projects into a new project called MeeGo[5], hosted by the Linux Foundation.
So what's so cool about this for the fans of this list? "We are using F12 ARM release to bootstrap MeeGo using the OBS build system[6] ARM architecture support."[7] Suddenly Fedora ARM has gone from relative obscurity to being the foundation for one of the most innovative hardware/software packages out there. Very cool. :) Have fun, -Jeff [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900 [2] http://www.maemo.org/ [3] http://moblin.org/ [4] http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/374612/bb8bf5cc77d85358/ [5] http://www.meego.org/ [6] http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service [7] http://wiki.meego.com/ARM_Support _______________________________________________ arm mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
