Nokia, Intel Merge Maemo, Moblin Into MeeGo

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the there-can-be-only-one dept.

AVee writes "Intel and Nokia just announced a new project called MeeGo. MeeGo is supposed to be the result of merging Maemo and Moblin, bringing together the best pieces of those (already quite similar platforms). Interestingly this means that Intel will be sponsoring a mobile Linux distro which will run on ARM."

    Q Will MeeGo use .rpm or .deb as its packaging system?

    Also Quim Gil of Maemo stated that it will officially support both GTK+ and Qt (original plan for Maemo 6 was to officially support only Qt and deliver GTK+ via community supported packages)
