Why wasn't this included by default in OS2008, or at least Diablo? It supports every bloody format you can throw at it, and is a massive improvement over the default. There are also frontends that increase usability. | Why wasn't this included by default in OS2008, or at least Diablo?

Many ports of other operating systems have been done and can be installed with little trouble, thanks to a great deal of community support and documentation. | Many ports of other operating systems have been done and can be installed with little trouble, thanks to a great deal of community support and documentation. | ||

| + | Android was first ported onto the tablets by b-man and Penguinbait, and like any first try, it had it's share of problems. It broke video for many programs and didn't support many apps. A fix was released, but unlike the original , it was much more diffucult to do. Then came NITdroid. Ported by Solca, this is the most recent port available and is being constantly updated and tested. It is fairly easy to install, and there is even an install script for those who use Ubuntu! | ||
| + | === Ubuntu === | ||
| + | Interestingly enough, b-man was able to make Ubuntu Jaunty run on the tablet and has released it onto the Internet Tablet Talk forums. | ||
| + | === Mer === | ||
| + | A reincarnation (of sorts) of Maemo, Mer is a totally open-source operating system for the internet tablets that has great potential. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === KDE === | ||
| + | Ported by penguinbait, KDE is a powerful window manager for unix-based systems. It also functions as a chroot for booting additional applications. | ||
