Re: [GLLUG] adroid alternative

Hi. There is another phone that is worth checking out in my opinion. Pro1-X
from f(X)Tec. It's a startup company that advertised itself actively on
maemo.org (Nokia N900 forum borad). Spec looks decent and it allegedly
letting you choose between LinageOS, Ubuntu touch or sailfish.
Regards
David

Re: [GLLUG] Server in London

Hello Axel,
Sorry but obvious question is why do you care about physical location of
your server if you won't require physical access to it?
