Kubuntu Mobile Tech Preview
 

I was just browsing through the release notes for the Kubuntu Maverick Meerkat release candidate and was surprised to see that there is a Mobile Tech Preview version available. That section specifically mentions N900 by name...

I couldn't see any threads here on t.m.o. specifically referring to kubuntu on N900. So, whose pet project is this? Also, share your experience with it if you're brave enough to try it. ;)

saw it a long time ago, and even tried to contact the dev as he is one of the TMO users, but he didn't responded

looks like there already is a ARM version:

It will probably run on THE N900

Very interesting
This would be extremely awesome...
(I'm Kubuntu fan, :p)
Not intended to replace Maemo, though.

The screen tearing in this video gave me tears in my eyes. Literally. I don't see many features demoed either. So this doesn't seem like a viable, serious project. If they can't even have the font sizes and fonts attractive in a screenshot they're using (this one) I'm not holding my breath. So yeah, technology preview pur sang, might be saying something about MeeGo and other Qt-based OSes, but nothing seriously usable on a production device by any long shot.

Interesting indeed, I'll try it out but it probably needs thumb support in the CPU (which the N900 has disabled due to making it unstable)

How to install n900?

Re: Kubuntu Mobile Tech Preview
 

MeeGo has little to fear it seems...

Re: Kubuntu Mobile Tech Preview
 

very interestig that even if a totaly unfinish and useless os comes up someone is still there to install it.
i guess if there would be a os which only shows some bananas and nothing more someone would ask how to install it.....

Re: Kubuntu Mobile Tech Preview
 

I would go bananas for the Banana OS. Then I would cram my n900 in this: http://www.cellfoam.com/
