LBK Post Mark Stuttleworth's Ubuntu on the QT

Back to Linux Stuff:

From the News at:  http://www.desktoplinux.com



Ubuntu Network Edition 10.10 with Unity UI

Another Interface for the Windows Phone???



"As part of our planning for Natty+1, we’ll need to find some space on the CD for Qt libraries," Shuttleworth starts off a Jan. 18 blog entry, referring to Ubuntu 11.04, "and we will evaluate applications developed with Qt for inclusion on the CD and default install of Ubuntu."

All of these moves have been controversial, but the adoption of Qt may top them all, awakening a long-running feud between Linux developers who live and die by Gtk+, and others who have been swayed by the cross-platform allure and mobile reach offered by Nokia's Qt.

Will this turn "Natty Narwhal" into another "turkey" ?


Pump up the Steve Miller song:

Real Loud Please.

Toradex announced a Linux-based single board computer (SBC) with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom E6xx, and also debuted a PC based on it that's claimed to be "the world's smallest." The "Topaz" SBC underlies the fanless, aluminum-housed "Xiilun," which measures 3.50 x 2.36 x 0.63 inches, features up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and offers a bootable microSD slot, DVI-D, and four USB 2.0 ports.

 The Topaz SBC


The E6xx supplies the Topaz and Xiilun with full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, dual independent display capability, and support for OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenVG, and DirectX 9.0, says Toradex. In addition, the processor's Intel hyper-threading and virtualization technology is supported. Video support for the SBC and PC is said to include MPEG4 and H.264 encoding and decoding, as well as MPEG2, VC1, and WMV9 decoding.
