Ubuntu now works on ARM powered smartbooks

February 19, 2010 3 Comments


There is a version of Ubuntu which is optimized to work well on netbooks, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition. It’s now been reworked for use of smartbooks that are powered by ARM processors.  One of the problems Ubuntu Developers encountered, is that the interface needs 3D hardware drivers but, this isn’t found on all ARM chipsets at present. So the interface has been recoded to use 2D Enlightenment Foundation Libraries instead. That said, most users won’t actually notice the difference. One other tweak they’ve made, is that the program launcher is easier to theme than the current 3D version.

    Ubuntu is a very good and well constructed OS. It is a great news to know that it is now available with some notebooks.
