It looks like the Hasty Hoppogriff runs on ARMv5EL (I don't know what EL means) while the Freerunner is ARM4 (I'm pretty sure). The distributions page (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions) indicates that Debian can run on the Freerunner, so Ubuntu on the Freerunner should be possible, though I think it's non-trivial to do. It would be nice if in the coming years we see Openmoko hardware platforms that can run Ubuntu and other distros right out of the box. -Charles ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It will be nice if in a future the Software and the Hardware will be produced by different firms, like now it happen with Pc! So OM can think only to give us a good and open hardware, while another firm (Canonical? Trolltech?) can give us some good software stacks! Charles Pax wrote: On Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 3:25 PM, Risto H.
