mgolischare there any efforts to port that mobile stuff to non x86 archs?20:20
mgolischi mean there are a lot more mobile/embeded devices which dont have x86 cpus20:21
persiamgolisch: Most of it is based on packages in the archives, and most of those are compiled for every architecture Ubuntu supports.20:25
persiaThere are some special package changes for lpia for some packages, but those are considered bugs, and probably ought be fixed.20:25
persiaFor actual devices, I suspect the only other architecture in Ubuntu for which you might find a suitable device is powerpc, but most of the powerpc handhelds are fairly low-spec, and may not meet the base requirements.20:26
mgolischi see, i thought more about nokias tablets or something, but ubuntu doesnt support arm if iam not wrong20:27
mgolischand i guess their processor might actualy be too slow20:28
persiaNo.  Ubuntu doesn't currently build for ARM.  There was talk about it at the past UDS, and a couple community efforts to recompile everything for ARM, but nothing official as of yet.20:28

ogra.oO(you could try to find a sparc handheld)21:03
suihkulokkiogra: handheld might be tricky, but netgear sells a NAS with sparc21:05
ograhandheld might be a bit hot i bet :)21:06
persiaThere was also the Tadpole series of sparc notebooks.21:26
