interesting platform for me.
Afaik Raspbian was and still is a community project unrelated to the The
Foundation itself. Rasbian was needed because Debian armel couldn't
benefit from the floating point hardware of the RPi.
but very importantly it contains all the libraries and sample code, the broadcom
code with community additions, to make use of the hardware in a GNU/linux
context... which I happen to be immersed in this week.
Getting GNU/linux running on a specific ARM device is serious work, the
manufacturers have often put work into running Android/linux but that is
a very different platform. Ubuntu is working on supporting some phones
with its GNU/linux, which could be nice to have.
True but once folks got Linux running on specific ARM devices and
documented the installation steps this can make things a lot easier :)
certainly, and the sooner the better.
