Update. well biketool. the Lubuntu live with Qtsdk I made works. the LMDE live with Qtsdk I finished a few hours ago works. I went back to the latest 13.(whatever) antiX just now (not the new mx) after wayyyyyy too many years away from it. And I was really quite impressed... Also after rummaging through the live-installable I found I won't need Systemback. It has it's own concept of burning the installed running instance of antiX to live usb. Which is excellent. I'm just not used to the distro after so long away from it....gotta just use it more. I'll be working on getting Qtsdk running on it this weekend and a live usb made of it by Monday. And I'm sure I can get Bodhi on track to utilize QtSDK. So yeah...So far I'm very happy with the variety of option...especially having not just 1 but 2 rolling release distro choices along with Lubuntu (I'm sure Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and, Xubuntu will work butttttt . I think Ubuntu and Kubuntu are are unnecessarily weighty, flashy and slick for our pragmatic needs...also...who's going to play around with them? I figure Lubuntu will suffice. People will be too busy developing... to fiddle with desktop gadgets. ) The big thing is I am not keen on just making all this for one narrow method (qt)...however easy...or newer...it may be...nor just for one platform / device . I don't think I'm shooting for the moon in expectation of doing the same for n8x0 and 770 and making it possible to utilize different development methods than just qt for the n900 too.
