Please keep Android in essentials.. , I think not all Linux Beginners know about Android is based on the Linux Kernel and is not "a one company closed stuff" with all the possibilities that are availible through that: building custom ROM, run it with separate ( open source ) app store, etc..etc.. I think with Android , a small part of the discussed "digital autonomy" ( at least as an option.. ) has made it to the most used consumer it product (smartphone) in ower days. bg Gerhard -- Gerhard Schauer mail: [email protected] GPG: 8B30D9997C8E645336B0B03C008CC4FBF00B30EF _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] https://list.lpi.org/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
