The whole Meego thing was a mess.<p>Maemo had from the early days been Debian based.<p>Then came Intel&#x27;s Moblin in an attempt at pushing Atom for mobile devices (reason being that Intel had opted to forgo PCI on that variant to save power, and Microsoft balked at doing Windows on a x86 chip without PCI). Mobilin 1.0 was also Debian based.<p>So at that point it seemed sensible for Nokia and Intel to combine their efforts and create Meego.<p>But just as the jointed project was unveiled, Intel finalized Moblin 2.0. And it was RPM based. And Intel was heavily pushing for Meego to be that as well.<p>Never mind that the N9 was really a last gen Maemo with some additions to make it Meego compatible.
