Why doesn MeeGo run on my hardware?
The simple answer is that it doesn’t run on your hardware yet. Right now, MeeGo runs on a limited number of hardware configurations (see above sections for details). This is a common approach for open source software. The person or people who write the first version of the software selects a subset of hardware to get the project started. For example, the first version of the Linux kernel available to the public only ran on a 386 with AT drives, because that was what Linus Torvalds had at the time. If the open source project is successful (as Linux has been) more and more people will begin contributing ports of the software to additional hardware platforms. Linux now supports many different hardware configurations because people were willing to put in the time to add them. The best way to get support for your hardware is to either write it yourself and submit patches to MeeGo or convince someone else to support your hardware (maybe your hardware vendor). You can also file it as a featur
