Forwarding here, since I'm a KUbuntu user, & this (Perhaps.) implies a need for the KDebian version of the distro.

What are the first steps we can easily take, to get started on this? 1) Talk about how to do it on this email list. 2) Put something on www.debian.org web page about beginning to work on this project. 3) Create a mailing list for "Debian for Android Hw". 4) Send some thoughts in reply to this email, & to the new mailing list. 5) Make a wiki page for "Debian distro for Android capable hardware phones". - http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnHandhelds = My motivation: I got an Android capable smartphone/computer a few months ago. - Samsung Intercept, Virgin Mobil, $200, $25/month includes unlimited internet. Of course, I'd like to get a GNU(Linux) distro on it. So, rather than have to piece together something using CyanogenMod & piece a bunch of aps together, I'd just like to have a KUbuntu version to put on there. - Download the ISO, start, 15 minutes later it's all there with all my familiar desktop aps in smartphone version. So, I figure, first step (before getting my KUbuntu), is there needs to be the Debian for Android Hw smartphones distro, for KUbuntu to build on top of. = Ok, well, there you are, folks. I've done my initial part for the project - suggest it get started. So, can some interested Debian individuals please now step it another step forward? Thanks for all the great Debian stuff! :) ===== References: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnHandhelds http://wiki.debian.org/Handheld http://wiki.debian.org/Hardware http://wiki.debian.org/ - How can open source survive in a post-PC World? http://www.h-online.com/open/features/How-can-open-source-survive-in-a-post-PC-world-1210071.html How can open source survive in a post-PC World?
