What is happening is that Moblin (intel-based) and Maemo (Arm-based) are merging to create MeeGo. MeeGo is supposed to have common lower layers, and alternative UX (User eXperience) layers. There will be UX layers for cell phones, tablets, netbooks, stationary media phones, and whatnot. MeeGo will use rpm as packaging mechanism. It will run X, have gtk support, but main GUI SDK will be QT. Given that it should support intel and arm and be based on rpm, is there some way fedora and MeeGo could interact? Could a platform with Intel and Nokia as sponsors cooperate with the huge Fedora community with RedHat as sponsor? Could Fedora become a development platform for both? It would certainly help defragment linux a bit. MeeGo is set to become the biggest linux on mobile devices if Nokia mean what they say: According to Ari Jaaksi, VP Nokia “We will put all our force behind making MeeGo THE operating system” and “Nokia will ship tons of MeeGo devices, Intel, too. And others will use MeeGo in their devices. It is open, free, powerful and compatible.” That said, I prefer running Fedora on my netbooks. I actually think there is no problem at all running a full gnome on a netbook. I usually remove the panels and install cairo-dock. I also make a few gui tweaks that I am used to doing on older hardware (getting rid of gradients in window borders and so on). Seriously, a netbook is more powerful than what I used to run linux on just 1-2 years ago. birger -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
