Re: Fedora based MeeGo = NoGo!
 
I just want them to be upfront and guarantee that next year we will not have a completely new OS named BleePo based on Gentoo and Enlightenment...

That I will be able to apt-get dist-upgrade the new OS when it comes out (or whatever rpm equivalent there is, if they sooo much insist it to be rpm based, which I haven't seen ONE good argument for a switch, anyway) and the only differences will be that it'll probably run a bit slower than on the new hardware and the hardware features that i don't have won't work... like digital compass for example. :confused:

Invalid Project

Ahh darn. No GUI for RPM either? :p
Sure!

It is a reason why I argued with your about "red pill removal" in HAM ;)

Gentoo on a mobile device sounds like a very good idea! :D
It would keep your hands warm in winter.

Hey, it would eliminate all those pesky complaints about Nokia not releasing updates often enough. "So soon? I'm only 72% into my last emerge --update --deep world!"

No - because anybody would complain that power cable to phone is not thick and can't carry enough power. And winning about melting plastic pieces.

The Nokia Emerge(ncy)Phone - it changes its surface color within one day :)

Winters are cold in Finland so it makes sense ;)

Why? How does the release of a new OS have any negative effects on your current one? All I need to know is how long they are planning on supporting a device. That would be good to know. How long can I expect to have patches and updates for it should be an important consideration when buying a device. But expecting them to stop OS progress just to avoid making you jealous of those with newer devices is ridiculous.
