Not Another G U I Thread

[chad78]

I'm not asking about what the official[TM]©® operating system and/or GUI will be. I'm asking about potential "3rd party" OSes that will / should run on it.

Like, one's I'm looking forward to trying.

• Ubuntu ARM port
• Maemo
• Windows Mobile
• Android?

Any other flavors of Linux you're going to try? Any non-Linux OSes you are going to try? Any you think might work?

 

[Kyo]

a real debian, maybe

Chad : all of these are not OS , they are only customization of Linux

here a list of OS : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_operating_systems

i prefer article in french because don't list linux distributions as OS :
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_sys...%27exploitation


so what i prefer and what i want to test ?

a linux with exotic windows manager or Squeak
seriously linux with your idea of GUI Tango , with python as langage of scripting

I have a number of Windows Mobile apps I like and would be fascinated to see if/how well they could work on Pandora.
My linux distribution of choice would be debian based any way, but as you said on the other thread, I think there is a lot to getting an Ubuntu flavour on there as people would take notice.
I would only install/try any other OS/Distros (eg Maemo) if they could run something I wanted that wasn't possible with the default OS or in one of the above.

But there again, when you have a Pandora in your hands and somebody posts 'I've just got <some> OS working', will I be able to resist trying it? Probably not.

i suppose you could just add the Ubuntu repository and do a dist-upgrade to get a ubuntu-ish thing?

Windows mobile is unlikely unless
1.) Craigx dishes out the fees to get an image compiled for the 3530
2.) Some other company gets an image compiled for the 3530 for a device they build and then it can be hacked over to the Pandora.
