Hi Sonali, I'm not sure whether all of your questions fit in meego-dev, but I'll reply anyway to the best of my knowledge.

Security does not have to be obscurity. The belief that FOSS are inherently less-secure because the source is open is hence a fallacy, a somewhat popular one. I'm not going to elaborate on this. If you continue your research you'll get to see that FOSS have the potential to be as secure as any software can be, and have proved the claim by being just that. > > 2. Which are the processor MeeGo supports to? > You'll need to hear from someone more technically aware than me to get the exact list of processors supported. Here's what I can tell. As you know MeeGo has different UXs (User Experiences) built on the MeeGo Core. These different UXs are aimed for different operating environments. Three of these are either having a public release already or available as a preview. MeeGo Netbook UX 1.0 release supports Intel Atom platform. Although not directly mentioned in the official release notes, we know that the Netbook UX works perfectly on more CPUs, namely Intel Core 2 Duo among others. As for other processors and platforms we know that ARM support is there. I was able to find these following platforms directly from the MeeGo website: Intel Russellville eMenlow systems, Intel Crown Bay Tunnel Creek systems [IVI] and Aava Mobile Intel Moorestown platform EV2, Aava Mobile Intel Moorestown platform DV1 [Handset UX]. You'll have better luck finding about supported hardware by going through the already posted threads in MeeGo Forum site.[1] > > 3. Is there is meaning to word "Meego" or it is abbreviation of something? > According to Quim[2]: "'MeeGo' has no semantic meaning and no etymological references." In other words MeeGo isn't an abbreviation or something with a special meaning. But that hasn't stopped the members of the MeeGo community from providing colourful explanations. :) [1] http://forum.meego.com/ [2] http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=154 Cheers, -- Gaveen Prabhasara
