Hi everybody,
for sure there is not much information about Ulteo because I don't want to be accused of vaporware and because it's better to talk about a concept when there is a "material" instance of this concept. As a result, I'll unveil the whole thing when a first alpha-beta version will be available. Of course, many of you guessed it, Ulteo won't be "only" a new Linux distribution. This would be quite useless!
Well... here is an information! I'm currently working to port my Ulteo tests to a debian-base. We won't start from scratch for sure! Well, an Ubuntu base in fact! No need for now to describe all the reasons which convinced me to think about this switch (especially cos I *may* switch back to a Mandriva-base ). The issue is that I'm not an expert with Ubuntu/Debian technologies, but I'm learning. I want to start upon Kubuntu because it's the closest distro to my previous hacks in Mandriva regarding apps and look & feel. And after the first release, extend the project to a GNOME-base as well.
Anyway, currently I'm in a hurry and certainly need help. In short: I don't like the way that removable devices are handled in Ubuntu. It reminds me Mandrake 5.1 when no other options were possible. I far prefer the Mandriva way. We need a system that doesn't lock the CD inside the drive. There are other issues as well, linked to hotplug capabilities. I don't want to spend my time on these points, I have to focus on system integration and net services. So if someone has the skills, please get in touch with me or connect me!
Other: internationalization could also be better managed. It's less important for now, but if someone is interested...
See you.

PS IMO besides the product itself, I'm more and more convinced that there is really a big potential with Ulteo. Since I'm not at Mandriva anymore, I've received a lot of very interesting contacts and possible partnership. |
