Ubuntu 10.7 Smartbook Edition coming for ARM!

Posted by Charbax – June 22, 2010 – View Comments

Canonical is showing the Freescale i.MX51 Pegatron Laptop reference design running the latest version of Ubuntu Netbook Edition optimized for ARM for speed (could they be calling this the Ubuntu Smartbook Edition?). In this video, the representative of Canonical explains some of the things that are being worked on to optimize Linux as a full laptop experience on ARM platforms like the ARM Cortex A8 and the multi-core ARM Cortex A9 that are coming out soon. I will film another video with Canonical to try to get more details on how the upcoming ARM Powered laptops are going to look like and how Linux is being optimized for it.

    Canonical: Please stop requiring Thumb2 for Ubuntu Lucid and newer. N900 users would like to be able to use Ubuntu on our devices. Does Thumb2 really help so much?

    Charbax, I dont get the point even after watching your vid: Will Canonical only provide an adapted Ubuntu for ODMs or even sell hardware?
