Real wants you to use their formats to play music- closed
Free Open Source allows you to use what ever you would like and this (going on 4 yrs now) Fully Ubuntu box never had issues with playing RM files......

I may be wrong, but AFAIR the usual way to play RM files is to use some binary-release codec from Real. The problem ,of course, is that this means that you can only support RM files on platforms that Real support. There is no easy way to use a binary codec for x86 on ARM(el). The only similar thing, I have seen working is the ndiswrapper for using MS Windows WiFi drivers on Linux, but this is a different case, mostly because the ndis infrastructure is probably documented far better than any codec API.
As I said, I may be wrong, but my it rings a bell somewhere in the dusty parts of my mind... :-)

I wouldn't trust anything to do with handhelds.org. They are attempting to trademark the names of the projects hosted at their site - GPE, Opie, Ipkg, among others. They will most likely attempt to trademark 'mojo' as well.

why the obsession with ubuntu? no, seriously. OK, yes, ubuntu is basically debian with the latest packages and without the obsession to only have pure GPL software, but it doesn't actually solve the problem of having a distro specifically tailored for smaller screen under-resourced handhelds, in fact, I could argue that we'd be the poor relations for the desktop and server unbuntu distro developers.
anyone heard of angstrom? well, if the devs didn't argue and 13itch and flame each other as well as anyone who dares to ask questions or discuss it on a forum, it would probably be going quite well! www.angstrom-distribution.org if anyone cares to try.
right now, linux needs *less* variants especially user interfaces!
FYI, for amusement, here's Verity Stob's discussion about Ubuntu: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/14/linux_manual/

Not to mention since it has a big userbase as well, if there's an issue you'd also likely find it through Google (as well as its solution).
Though I agree that it isn't the end all, be all for Linux operating systems.

.I think the idea of porting ubuntu is the only way to let the tablet survive some further time. Nonkia lost already enough useres to the eee and this year lots of atom cpu powered devices will appear.
2009-2010 intel announced the next atom cpu generation which should work better with mobile phones.
