It is not optimal, wifi involved (slow), ssh involved (slow), and for some reason I never got the sshd daemons running well on my Galaxy Nexus (one of the problems seems to be lack of entropy in the kernel). Finally got something working by using "Linux Installer", which creates a really cool debian chroot inside the Nexus. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- 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 Have a question?
