[ros-users] ROS on alternative platforms

[Cedric Pradalier]

Hi,

Did you think of using the angstrom kernel with the ubuntu distrib?
I've used such a setup on gumstix and that made installing ROS much
easier.

On the other hand, I think this email should be directed at
answers.ros.org (which I don't have the time to read).

Regards
