A Nokia-sponsored project is porting Ubuntu Linux to the ARM architecture.
The "Handheld Mojo" team has completed ARM builds of Feisty Fawn (dubbed
"Frisky Firedrake"), and Gutsy Gibbon ("Grumpy Griffin"), with Hardy Heron
compilation starting soon. Meanwhile, Ubuntu is gaining better support for
devices with small screens and limited input devices thanks to work by the
Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded team, and its forebear, EmbeddedUbuntu, as well
as Intel's Moblin project. [image:
