It's not only about mobiles, but with ARM64 there will be more and more servers with this architecture (AMD currently goes ARM), so it might be a valuable niche to have a full server stack there which could be commercially successful since there are not many competitors (seriously, only Linux ARM). Of course, a mobile spinoff from this (with Gnome 3?) would be easy to implement then, if there were not these closed-hardware chips (namely, Broadcom SOCs), which will prevent none-commercial entities to develop drivers (see Raspberry Pi, which, unfortunately, has such a closed SOC). -- Dr.Udo Grabowski Inst.f.Meteorology a.Climate Research IMK-ASF-SAT www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/sat.php KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology http://www.kit.edu Postfach 3640,76021 Karlsruhe,Germany T:(+49)721 608-26026 F:-926026 ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
