actually I only care what the MeeGo version will use that is
supposed to run on future Nokia handhelds. The LSB is free to
recommend whatever they want - and as others pointed already out the
standard does not say your distribution has to be RPM based ;)<br>

Chrome OS is <a

working against Google and Canonical, which on their own have a much
better expertise than either Nokia or Intel.<br>

I think I will start a wiki page and a brainstorm vote, for keeping
DEBs and to collect arguments pro/ contra.<br>
