Hi guys, I was just wondering - since ultra-lightweightness :) - will there be an ARM compilation of lubuntu? or more likely - just a way to compile it by self and being able to use all the system's functionality? I just got the idea that if lubuntu handles easily old and modern low end/energy efficient hardware (like netbooks) - could it run on hi-end mobile devices (MID and smartphone) like HTC TOUCH pro II, etc? I believe that the hardware efficiency should be enough to handle lubuntu - and it would allow access to a very large repository of software to be usable on the phone - the only problem would be that it would just lack the pure phone service, drivers and software... but still, personally I'd give it a shot, if I knew how to compile a system for ARM devices.
AND, of course, there will be some regular netbooks based on ARM (tegra?) hardware, and since netbook is quite popular idea of where to use lubuntu - why not also non-x86 netbooks? I know that there is an ARM compilation of ubuntu and there is going to be made something similar to UNR for ARMs. so is it possible to use that ARM kernel and lubuntu-desktop package, or is it a bad idea? I'm not talking about any official thing for lucid release - more of an unofficial tip with HOWTO, that maybe would become new unofficial branch of lubuntu in far away future. what do you think? best regards, Kuba _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
