Re: Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo
 
As far as I'm concerned this is great news. It means that our developer base has been expanded, as well as the hardware base. It's hard to fathom a situation where we don't see new versions of the OS pushed onto the n900.

Re: Maemo + Moblin = MeeGo
 
For all the bitter comments I posted here, I would like to add that I like the N900 very much. I like the look and feel of the UI, even if there may be room for improvement here and there (therefore I am a little sceptical about the switch to Qt, since the demos I have seen are not that encouraging from the aesthetic point of view, however as long as they stay with the UI design, I don't care what toolkit is used).
I accept that initially the software is missing features, but I expect Nokia to remedy this in future updates (for the N900, to be sure!), even if not all promises can be held.
Otherwise I would have to assume that Nokia is treating its customers like idiots.

How many of them were ARM based? none?
That's because Debian based distirbutions like Maemo or Ubuntu have
full ARM ports but Fedora based ones do not.

They want names whose URL is available and which haven't been trademarked yet. (The second doesn't apply to Apple. :p)

Here's the funny part.

I was playing around a few weeks ago with the idea for a new kind of meeting website. I scribbled out a lot of ideas and tested them on Whois. One in particular sounded really good (although juvenile) and I checked it: the .com was taken, but not the .net. I was really, really close to registering that.

Guess the name. ;)

AFAIK the current system is Debian-based. This means that it uses the Debian's system (packaging) and all the split packages. For example, KDE is split into a number of packages for Debian. This also happens for a number of programs and libraries Maemo uses. Switching to RPM doesn't mean only that the system will be repacked with RPM. It also means that another distribution will be used, meaning (among other things) that libraries will not be split (the same way) and that not all configuration files will go into /etc.

Take for example /etc/network/interfaces. This is debian specific and most probably will be different (or don't exist) in Meego.

In other words: Debian goodies (except from packaging) will be gone.
