If one looks closer, one will notice that performance is different and possibly not everything is compiled / available, but that's easy to notice simply some packages missing dependencies or not available. In practice all usual things are available. You may launch ARM (emulated) instances on Amazon EC2 cloud. Or locally use qemu-user-static: e.g. $ mk-sbuild --arch armhf trusty ; $ mk-sbuild --arch arm64 trusty (should work on saucy & trusty host operating systems), which then gives you working chroots, e.g. $ sudo schroot -u root -c trusty-arm64 Typically development happens on normal amd64/i386 machines. If there native code involved, one can either cross-compile or perform native compilation, then test in emulators / test-systems and deploy. For armhf, there are fairly cheap development boards one can use - e.g. panda board. arm64 stock is very limited and exclusive at this point in time.

Re: MIPS64 and ARM architecture support?
Thank you Dimitri. I have now found: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm I have also found: http://www.cavium.com/processor_Project-Thunder_Ubuntu-Server.html Question is for a web developer how different it would be to install and work on ARM servers? what and how things will be different for LAMP(Perl & PHP) developers? Thank you.

You can check which debian architectures[1] are available for a given release on launchpad, that is authoritative information. See architecture and build section on the left: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty The labels in brackets signify if the packages are on primary or ports mirrors - [.]archive.ubuntu.com / [.]ports.ubuntu.com respectively. There are 3 types of ARM related architectures, out of which armhf (ARMv7) and arm64 (aka AARCH64, ARMv8) are current. About any type of MIPS (mips, mipsel, mips64...) ports, all I can find is this porting effort team https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mips You can try mips/mipsel with Debian OS. [1] exact required CPU / ISA are encoded in the compiler/kernel/dpkg/etc. configuration, e.g. "i386" actually defaults to "686" on ubuntu & etc. -- Regards, Dimitri.-- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

MIPS64 and ARM architecture support?
hello, is the OS available for ARM / MIPS64? i could not find info that either 1204LTS or 1404LTS. anyone know better, pl advice. thank you.
