O2 Joggler Forum

Is there any chance that this would work on the Joggler ?
I have seen an old Netbook remix distro knocking about for the Joggler and wondered if this would work ?

it would work with some changes as with the rest of my ubuntu distros. is it dead though or still developed ?

Not sure but it says last update 14th August 2012 on the link ,will have a look around , just think this or something like it with big finger friendly icons wold be good joggler fodder

the old ubuntu netbook launcher was much better than unity on the joggler. if people might use this, I don't mind pushing out an image.

Sounds good to me BuZz , it might even encourage a few lurkers to give linux a try
Cheers

Ubuntu Netbook Remix - now there's a blast from the past! I once ran it on my old Acer netbook but eventually put the desktop edition on it. I think a UNR distro for the Joggler would be an excellent idea!

I found this

don't know if it will help tho

i know this distro well! - easypeasy - i installed it on some kidproof netbooks (zoostorm fizzbook) for my son and wife as windows running on it was too slow (my 1 year old son managed to break a nicer samsung nc10). very wife friendly distro. big icons for firefox, skype etc. got the old netbooks for around £60 from ebay and great for iplayer/facebook/youtubing

as far as i know this distro has not been updated in ages however. and i just went onto the website and it said 1.6 still which is a very old version. so on my own laptops i'm using mint instead as a lot of functionality missing with this distro (couldn't get external drives formatted in ntfs working for example which was a shame when ripping to an external usb hard drive)

actually browsing a bit more.. there is a developer's version published earlier this year

thanks yeh. I just looked at that on their blog - http://www.geteasypeasy.com/blog/ - but its gnome3 shell based, which is going to be a no-go really on the current emgd graphics drivers.

Don't I know that feeling.

to be honest - i blame the wife! i think she lost her temper and smashed it and blamed the poor boy!

It's a couple of years old but presumably this would still work.
