[16:21] <bahadunn> is this the distribution of ubuntu that was made to run on intel atom cpus?
[17:15] <Schrotthaufen> heyho...can someone tell me whether the ubuntu mobile edition is x-server based or not? and if not - is it 3d-accelerated?
[17:17] <stgraber> it's using a X server
[17:18] <Schrotthaufen> so you can run it on every x86 computer?
[17:18] <bahadunn> Schrotthaufen: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
[17:19] <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?
[17:21] <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
[17:24] <bahadunn> what I am most interested in is intel atom based mini-itx based systems and if ubuntu can run on them
[17:25] <stgraber> intel atom CPUs are x86 so standard Ubuntu should run on it just fine
[17:26] <bahadunn> okay that is what I thought
[17:26] <bahadunn> so what types of devices is ubuntu MID designed for?
[17:27] <stgraber> UMPCs
[17:27] <bahadunn> like asus eee pc?
[17:27] <stgraber> no
[17:27] <stgraber> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-Mobile_PC
[17:28] <bahadunn> is ubuntu netbook remix a downloadable release sort of thing?
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <stgraber> so that's basically a team repository for test packages (before they get included in the current devel release)
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <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?
[17:35] <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
[17:37] <bahadunn> cool
