| bahadunn | is this the distribution of ubuntu that was made to run on intel atom cpus? | 16:21 |
|---|---|---|
| Schrotthaufen | heyho...can someone tell me whether the ubuntu mobile edition is x-server based or not? and if not - is it 3d-accelerated? | 17:15 |
| stgraber | it's using a X server | 17:17 |
| Schrotthaufen | so you can run it on every x86 computer? | 17:18 |
| bahadunn | Schrotthaufen: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile | 17:18 |
| bahadunn | it says on the website "opengl 3d" | 17:19 |
| bahadunn | so I guess it does or can have 3d accel | 17:19 |
| bahadunn | stgraber: is MID what was designed to run on itel atom? | 17:19 |
| bahadunn | intel | 17:19 |
| bahadunn | stgraber: is MID the same as ubuntu netbook remix? | 17:19 |
| stgraber | no, it's not the same | 17:21 |
| bahadunn | stgraber: do you know where I can find more information about ubuntu on intel atom chips? | 17:21 |
| stgraber | the ubuntu netbook remix is Ubuntu + custom theme + ume-launcher to be used on sub-notebooks like Asus's EEE or Intel's classmate | 17:21 |
| bahadunn | what I am most interested in is intel atom based mini-itx based systems and if ubuntu can run on them | 17:24 |
| stgraber | intel atom CPUs are x86 so standard Ubuntu should run on it just fine | 17:25 |
| bahadunn | okay that is what I thought | 17:26 |
| bahadunn | so what types of devices is ubuntu MID designed for? | 17:26 |
| stgraber | UMPCs | 17:27 |
| bahadunn | like asus eee pc? | 17:27 |
| stgraber | no | 17:27 |
| stgraber | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-Mobile_PC | 17:27 |
| bahadunn | is ubuntu netbook remix a downloadable release sort of thing? | 17:28 |
| stgraber | not really, AFAIK you have to install standard Ubuntu then use their PPA to get the custom packages | 17:29 |
| bahadunn | what is PPA? | 17:29 |
| stgraber | http://launchpad.net/netbook-remix | 17:29 |
| stgraber | !ppa | 17:29 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 17:29 |
| stgraber | so that's basically a team repository for test packages (before they get included in the current devel release) | 17:30 |
| bahadunn | oh okay | 17:31 |
| bahadunn | so in the future there may be a release for the netbook remix? | 17:31 |
| stgraber | yes | 17:31 |
| bahadunn | I see | 17:31 |
| bahadunn | I think ubuntu is doing really good things | 17:32 |
| bahadunn | its exciting | 17:32 |
| bahadunn | are there any products that come with MID on them currently? | 17:32 |
| stgraber | http://blog.canonical.com/?p=13 | 17:35 |
| stgraber | I haven't heard of any device coming with MID installed out of the box but that may come soon | 17:35 |
| bahadunn | cool | 17:37 |
