Project Goals

The principal objective is to support devices which do not have hardware accelerated graphics and to bring to these devices the latest updates available in the Ubuntu world. Associated aims are to build a community around the release and for the release to be as 'light' as possible.

It will be built using the Ubuntu infrastructure for creating a distribution.
