Yes, I suspect you are correct that the ARM may be to weak to utilize the server version. &nbsp;I will try your suggestion and get back to you shortly.

No problem. how much memory does your handheld have and what's the processor speed of your Ti ARM? What's the brand and model of your handheld?

Hello Gerwin,<br />
<br />
I actually have two test machines, although it is starting to look like the CE 5.0 machine cannot be wiped and used with Ubuntu. &nbsp;With that said, below are the memory and configuration of the devices I have:<br />
<br />
* TI 400 Mhz ARM, 512 RAM, and 2GB flash - No Brand Test Kit<br />
<br />
* TI 800 Mhz ARM DM3358 processor, 32 GB flash - No Brand Test Kit<br />
<br />
Let me know if this answers your question, and if there is a way to accomplish installing Ubuntu.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

I'd try with the 800Mhz device if I were you, can it boot from USB or other device?

Yes, they both have SD slots, and the 800Mhz has a USB as well. &nbsp;I am not sure how to get to the BIOS of either though.

You have a manual? Or a brand/type of the device?

<div>
I think that I may be able to get the BIOS information. &nbsp;Do you have a suggestion on how to do the install once I get the BIOS changed to boot from USB as you indicated?

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I am new to Ubuntu, and for a test project I am using version 10.04 for now. &nbsp;My question is can I install Ubuntu on a TI ARM processor handheld? &nbsp;If so, could you please provide the necessary steps to do so? &nbsp;Currently the ARM is running CE 5.0, which I want to wipe out and use Ubuntu instead.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!<br />

Another Ubuntu Linux question

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Kernel programming for Linux operating systems can be done with many different languages; C, C++, Python, Perl and Java, which are some of the most common languages used.There are also many different varieties of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.

Linux OS Dev

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
