PicUntu is making news

Right folks - PicUntu has been making great news across the globe.


We are over-whelmed by the wishes and the speed at which PicUntu is catching world's imagination.


PCWorld, Liliputing (one of the first to report), Arctablet, ewalstreeter, tuxmachines, CNX, PC Quest... multiple magazines across multiple languages have carried the news article about launch of our dear PicUntu.


While, before the launch, google only returned 2000 pages with Picuntu - as of today it returns over 40,000 !! and it still keeps growing...

It's nice that the team's efforts are being recognized by the world !!

 

Humbly yours

PicUntu 0.9 RC 2.1 is here...

 

Congratulations! You have just reached a web site, that is running on PicUntu - Mk808/UG802 - Rockchip based device.

This device is currently running PicUntu 0.9 (based on kernel by andrew), so please be aware that sometimes, this server may be down, or being load tested... or I am simply, tinkering with new  settings, because I so like it.

This site, is a demo site, that allows you to explore the power of Ubuntu on ARM v7, Cortext A9 CPU with Rockchip.

Some devices that have reported to be running are

MK808, UG802, MK802 III, UG007, MX1

This is purely experimental site and you would most definitely find content, that is not supposed to be here, please bear with it... as we continue to grow this.
