I been thinking a lot. After I finish the 2nd final. How would you all feel about PhoenixOS being based on Android. I have a working build somewhat and it looks so slick and fast! Just an idea I'm tossing around, to get feedback from PhoenixOS users.

Let me know and thanks for your support!

Ray

Well, I would say go for it, but wouldn't that be a phone OS?

As there are already some well-advanced projects based on Debian and Ubuntu , why not work on Android .

I'd be willing to give it a whirl.

Nope its used widely on tablets/epads, and mini laptops. Its a FULL OS, and has a market application that reminds me of original cnr, so easy to use. If enough people here are in favor of it, I will do it. Be something unique and different from all the other distros, and yet still maintaining linux, since android is from linux

Ray

Go for it then. Let's see where it takes us.

An Android version would be interesting. Can I assume it could run standard apps from the store?

Yes I would just have to find the right fingerprint for the android market, then yes they could use apks, or android market.

Plus if you ever use android, in a lot of ways it reminds me of Linspire 5.0 and CNR legacy. Good ole days!

If that is for a desktop, I would be interested.

I tried the Lucid version of Phoenix and had the problems of no internet connexion etc. My Linux Mag had Ubuntu 11.04 on the disc. Suprised, I was able to install it (KDE version) but could not find out how to install nvidia. I was not suprised as my card. is not supported by latest xorg (1.10). I was delighted to find that it ran the GL Euphoria screen saver with the experimental driver. This is the first time - even with Linspire I needed the proprietory driver. Debian's expermental driver does not seem to work.

So I also look forward to an 11.04 version of Phoenix, if there is to be one. I have been having fun with Debian but the philosophy is getting in the way.

PhoenixOS is now final, I will not be making a 2nd final after all, because the bugs that are on the bug list get fixed after you do the updates. There was very few bugs.

Yes there will be an 11.04 version of PhoenixOS

The android version is just an idea I am toying with, but there will still be 11.04 and whatever comes out after that; as long as the community supports it I will keep doing it.

Ray

Hi Ray,

As I have stated before, no Ubuntu based OS after Hardy worked fully on my machine, karmic and lucid not at all, but 11.04 does. This opens the possibility that a future Phoenix may work. I did try to install the final Black Hawk as requested without luck. I will double check that it was the final version. I must admit that I was angry and lost interest but it was no ones fault and I found that I had less time for computing.

I will visit the forum more often - it is still bookmarked.

Regards David.

Admin Ray Are you going to get PhoenixOS on Distro Watch

I would love to, but heard you have to send a donation, or someone has to recommend your distro to get on there. I will look into it.

Ray

I'll recommend you :-)

I doubt it works that way but if it does let me know I'll send Vlad a nice letter.

Cool thanks appreciate it, would be nice to be on distrowatch!
