Ubuntu in N900
 

I want to know if there is or are studying a way to use ubuntu with N900.:confused:

Re: Ubuntu in N900
 

Have a look to this thread, they are talking about alternative OSs on the N900 and Ubuntu has been mentioned.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=31999

However, I'm not informed about any Ubuntu porting to N900.

Re: Ubuntu in N900
 

you could install "easy debian".
as ubuntu uses debian as basis it wouldn't be this far away from what you want. ;)

Re: Ubuntu in N900
 

One could say, maemo is a for mobile smartphones/ARM processor optimized version of debian/ubuntu. It also uses apt and some gnome-libraries (e.g. gconf), so why would anybody want to try porting ubuntu to the N900 ? This just isn't worth the efford in my eyes.

Re: Ubuntu in N900
 

You can install debian with easy debian.

If Linus Torval was the father of Linux and Ubuntu, then Debian would be the mother of Ubuntu... Where as now Ubuntu is the driving force to further develop Debian. (so u can say ubuntu is now taking care of the parent)

Anyway, Debian is also what Maemo is based on, so we should be greatfull for ubuntu to help debian evolve :D

Edit:
oh, takes so long to write something usefull while working on other things, so the question was allready answere :/

Re: Ubuntu in N900
 

I'll be working on an Ubuntu port as soon as i get my N900. :D

Re: Ubuntu in N900
 

Now I'm informed about an Ubuntu porting to N900 ;)

molto bene!!! very good!!!:)

Re: Ubuntu in N900
 

Debian is the base for Ubuntu, but completely independent from Ubuntu/Canonical. So, nope, Ubuntu is NOT the/a driving force for Debian. And, no, Ubuntu is NOT taking care of Debian. Please don't make up these things.

Re: Ubuntu in N900
 

Actually it is Debian that is the driving "SOURCE" behind both Ubuntu and Maemo



Ubuntu and Maemo are Debian's Children sort of speak . . . so that makes Ubuntu and Maemo brothers!!!!!

:D
