Open Source at CeBIT 2013 (The H)
The H reports
from CeBIT 2013 at length. "Speaking to me following his
presentation, [Klaus] Knopper also mentioned that he was contemplating
creating a mobile version of Knoppix to run on smartphones. The developer
noted that the hardware he would need is already available in many
smartphones: a powerful processor, 1GB or more of RAM, and a large,
high-resolution screen. He showed us his Samsung Galaxy Note II running the
latest version of the CyanogenMod Project's custom Android firmware and
suggested that Knoppix would run very well on the hardware and could be
useful for applications such as GIMP (the Note II includes a
pressure-sensitive stylus and Wacom technologies). Phones like the Note II
could also be docked for use with an external display, keyboard and mouse,
turning them into fully fledged desktop devices."
