Hello all It looks like Ubuntu MID is not live any longer, the last update seems to be 8.04... Now I am wondering what would be a good LIVE/ACTIVE distro to make use of for MID devices... I am thinking of course of the Joggler but also other devices... Thanx --

I think there has been general agreement in the silos of government since the 'mysociety No 10' fiasco that 'participatory' democracy is a bad idea because the public is too thick to understand the issues facing modern society. The public may stupidly associate the socialist party with outmoded
