How to get the Meego distribution
MeeGo is an open source, Linux project which brings together the Moblin project, headed up by Intel, and Maemo, by Nokia, into a single open source activity. MeeGo integrates the experience and skills of two significant development ecosystems, versed in communications and computing technologies. The MeeGo project believes these two pillars form the technical foundations for next generation platforms and usages in the mobile and device platforms space.
MeeGo includes:
- Performance optimizations and features which enable rich computational and graphically oriented applications and connected services development
- No-compromise internet standards support delivering the best web experiences
- Easy to use, flexible and powerful UI/app development environment based on Qt
- Open source project organization managed by the Linux Foundation
- State of the Art Linux stack optimized for the size and capabilities of small footprint platforms and mobile devices, but delivering broad linux software application compatibility

Overview of How-To
This How-To is meant to be a starting point for people to learn install an Meego image for OMAP3-based IGEP platforms as quickly and easily as possible.
This How-To works with an Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) distribution but most of the contents are valid also for other GNU/Linux distributions. We do not issue any guarantee that this will work on other distributions.
Requirements
- A SD card at least 2GB ( recommended 4GB ) formatted how uboot likes it to be formatted (with root(ext3) and boot(fat) partitions)
