[Ubuntu-eg] MANARA -- Egyptian Embedded Linux Distribution for ARM platforms with Qt Embedded

[Mohamed Nour]

Hi All,

Sherif Mosa,
As Islam said, this idea has been executed here in Egypt several times
either as a grad. project or as an individual effort; so it's going to be
like reinventing the wheel.
What I think of is why not to start from where the others have stopped; you
can ,for example but not limited to,:
1- Continue the work of someone who did this before & try to add your touch
on his output, e.g: make it faster, more optimized, more generic,...
2- Go with the Android system, which is based on Linux, hack it & play with
it in the way you like

Regards,
Mohamed Nour
