Ubuntu Linux Eyes Gadget Apps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the squeezing-to-fit dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Three developers have launched a project to turn Ubuntu into an embedded Linux distribution, according to a story on LinuxDevices.com. The resulting "EmbeddedUbuntu" OS aims to simplify the creation of embedded software for gadgets such as mobile phones, PDAs, and web tablets, and provide their owners with easier access to sophisticated open source desktop applications, such as multimedia streaming software. What do you think: will they call the mobile version Mobuntu?"

    Wishful thinking... l00zer! I broke down and made an off topic post. What are you going to do? Reduce my upstream bandwidth?

    You could just as well say, "I use the term night to refer to the period between morning and evening" or, "I use the term black to refer to the color with the code #ffffff."

    Trying to redefine words, especially proper names, to make it look like you knew what you were talking about only makes you appear more foolish. Just be a man and admit that you have no clue wtf you are talking about.
