Rather than compiling and adapting MeeGo for a different platform would it be a better idea to create a "compatible" version of MeeGo? For example, based on a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Fedora install the same libraries and software versions as MeeGo versions? Maybe call it "MeeToo"? :) I

I have an ASUS 1.8ghz Sempron laptop with 1gb of memory and ATI R300 card. It runs Ubuntu 9.04 perfectly well with open source 3d drivers and graphic performance provides nice eye-candy. The Sempron chip does not support SSSE3 instructions so basically my hardware is excluded from running MeeGo?

Will including SSSE3 support as part of the minimum requirement is going to be a limiting factor in the adoption of MeeGo? There are many other x86 computers out there that can run Linux-based systems (including 3D acceleration) quite comfortably. So, sure Atom benefits from SSSE3. Does this mean
