Have been lurking here off-and-on for a while, but am coming out :-) Would love to read a bit more about FrontlineSMS architecture (technical). If you could share, that would be great. At some later time (when I've obtained an Ubuntu PC) would like to contribute as well. Cheerio -atul Ken

It is Linux. ;) We've already done a bunch of Linux testing, but if you want to run it through Ubuntu on the Acer then we're always happy for the help. Apparently there are some issues moving the Acer One over onto Ubuntu (I wanted to do that, too). Let me know how you get on, and if you want to try and run FrontlineSMS through it once you have! @Coby Nope. It is Linux. ;)

I have one of the "older" Acer One running Linux. Was going to see about getting Ubuntu on it to test Frontline. Already done? R, Coby Ken,

But I think @Alex Anderson was hoping someone would send him one. ;) Drop me an email and let me know if you want a copy of the current release, or the test (1.5.2) one. Great if your daughter can help us test out the new Forms functionality. How old was she again? :D @hash Thanks, Erik.
