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."
