 Linux on ARM processor netbooks arrives soonKubuntu (or Ubuntu) is very close to releasing a Linux version that will run on the new ARM processor netbooks. See http://armdevices.net/2010/11/01/mark-shuttleworth-loves-the-toshiba-ac100/
Will we have a Mepis Linux version for the ARM processor netbooks, laptops, desktops which are almost here? |

Maybe if someone was willing to donate a new ARM netbook to Warren (if he doesn't already have one) it would be a way to encourage him to develop for it?

Re: Linux on ARM processor netbooks arrives soon Currently, after CES in Las Vegas, the Nufront netbook, laptop and planned desktop with 2 GHz ARM Cortex A9 processor looks like the best bet, details under News at http://Linux-Now.us . The bad news is that they won't be available on the market for 6 months. There is the Toshiba AC100, details at http://armdevices.net/2010/11/01/mark-shuttleworth-loves-the-toshiba-ac100/ which Kubuntu already has a head start on. Right now I'm going to renew my Mepis gold membership which should help Warren obtain a Nufront ARM Linux netbook or laptop so we can have Mepis ARM Linux ready to go when the ARM Linux netbooks or laptops are available.
Update: I don't see the Gold membership available like it was before and I get an error message from PayPal. I would like to find a way to help get Mepis development going for the upcoming ARM Linux computers. |

Re: Linux on ARM processor netbooks arrives soon When I try to add the gold subscription to the cart, I get the following. I don't have a PayPal account and just wanted to put pay by credit card. Nothing came in my E-mail:

Re: Linux on ARM processor netbooks arrives soon Well....I hope he knows how to cross-compile for the ARM architecture on x86. I'm pretty sure it's possible with chroot, but have not been able to figure it out. I sure would not try and rebuild KDE and QT 4 on a netbook...and don't think it would work in Virtual Box.
Edit: or it would work in Virtual Box, or qemu: http://general.nas-central.org/wiki/Set ... _compiling |
