Hi all, I am very happy being the part of this Open Source World since next generation is boosted up with Open Source Technologies. There are lot of happenings nowadays i could see in Linux and its Kernel. The former and later has been the base for many new platforms today. First it was RedHat and Debian, then came their very popular derivatives Fedora and Ubuntu respectively, then came the biggest competitor of Iphone* and Windows* mobile " ANDROID ", the above mentioned were all based on the linux kernel which is being an Open-source, except those starred. And now its MEEGO, the new Operating System for Netbooks, Handhelds, Electronic appliances, In-vehicle Infotainment,etc. which is developed based on Nokia’s Debian-based Maemo and Intel’s Fedora-based Moblin. MeeGo is one of the first Linux distributions to use the Btrfsfile system as default, and uses RPM repositories. It uses QT and Gtk for GUI development. And the Meego is released under GPL license and Free Open Source Software. The SDK is also available in their website which is free to download and develop. World's Biggest and top Organisations finally understood the power of Open Source and now it emerges as a Giant. -- Regards, Prasanna Venkadesh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PuduvaiLUG (puduvai Linux Users Group): http://puduvailug.wordpress.com/ Visit the Blog to know my experience with LINUX: http://prasopensource.wordpress.com/
