[02:37] <Lucifer> so, is there a release yet?
[02:37] <Lucifer> I'm building a robot, and I need an embedded OS :)
[02:41] <somerville32> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/FAQ
[02:42] <Lucifer> that page says it'll be released next to gutsy :)
[02:42] <Lucifer> er, last month
[02:42] <Lucifer> I'm installing moblin-image-creator to fool with it
[02:43] <Mithrandir> Lucifer: while you are of course free to play around with ubuntu mobile, I suspect we might not be what you want for proper embedded stuff
[02:43] <Mithrandir> depending on your hardware and needs, naturally
[02:44] <Lucifer> I need two things, mostly.  A computer in my car, and a computer to put on a lunar rover.  I've got a small team together to work on a rover for the google lunar xprize.  :)
[02:44] <Lucifer> so we'll be using off-the-shelf hardware, or stuff we created ourselves.
[02:45] <Lucifer> we're still in research/planning, but i thought I'd test some embedded build systems on my car computer and see how they went
[02:46] <Lucifer> my interest in ubuntu is primarily based around how well the feisty->gutsy upgrade went.  Never seen such a thorough upgrade go so smoothly.
[02:46] <Mithrandir> yeah, we're not really that kind of embedded.  It's more about what the UI looks like and works rather than size of the distro.  Though, we're lighter than regular Ubuntu, it's nowhere near traditional uclibc/embedded distros.
[02:48] <Lucifer> ah, ok.  Would you be able to direct me to some documentation that would help me build a custom ubuntu from scratch?
[02:48] <Lucifer> ubuntu-devel directed me here :)
[02:48] <Mithrandir> I don't really think we have anything about that.  Maybe emdebian is more appropriate for what you're doing, if you're going into the sub-100M space?
[02:48] <Mithrandir> or openembedded.
