[Q] win 7/32 Netbook as development machine? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I recently got a Galaxy Note and am in the early stages of working with Android and would like a separate engineering workstation PC for this.. I have dedicated PCs for studio/music and general/gaming.. but I also have a netbook laying around gathering dust.
So, as i have no idea what amount of horsepower is needed is a Netbook, running win7/32 a suitable machine for running Eclipse, the android SDK etc.. ?
thanks
My apologies, this should have been posted in Android development Q&A...

[Q] Windows on G-Tab

Noob question and I dont know if this has been asnwered somewhere else. Can windows be booted on the G-tab? Just wondering
Thanks

NO, windows only runs on x86 chips, not arm.
Thank you guys that answered my question.
Hey, bumping this thread because of CES update I watched. From what I heard, when they showed the new version of Windows (don't get excited, they just showed some technical features, nothing big) they said that it would be able to run on ARM platforms, and actually showed it running on one. Do you think this would therefore work on the g-tab? Discuss?
Yes the upcoming Windows 8 could in theory work on the G-tab but until it's out and we have more info on it we don't know

[Q] Raspberry Pi: Best OS?

Hi All,
I am buying a type-B Raspberry Pi unit soon, and would like to know what OS everyone thinks is the best to get started with?
Please, only answer if you have used or owned a Raspberry Pi unit before, as I need an informed answer.
The website advised me of the Raspbian Wheezy OS, but I want to know what the dev community thinks.
Cheers,
Deano
Wheezy does seem to be the best solution, but... they are currently porting ICS using a custom kernel should be ready in a couple of weeks at most. There doesn't seem to be much interest for the rspi on this forum though

Android / Ubuntu on Samsung Ativ Tab GT-P8510

Hello everyone,
i'm a owner of a new Samsung ativ tab.. *yeaah* I won it 2 weeks ago, but i'm definitly not happy with Windows 8 RT.
Since some days, i trawl google and check if there is any possibility to install another OS (android or ubuntu) on this device. Until now, without any success.
Has anybody an idea or tipps (except selling ) what i can do with this samsung ativ tab?
thanks in advance for your support!
greetings
I like to revive this old thread and ask the 2016 question if Android or Linux can be installed on the Samsung Ativ Tab GT-P8510?
Hope some of the geniuses here will take pity on the users of Windows RT tablets.

[Q] [Windows RT] How to ARM compile x86 exe's for use in jailbroken Surfaces?

Hey XDA members,
I have got a surface recently, and have looked into jailbreaking (I can't at the moment because 8.1 isn't jailbroken yet, but when it is I will jailbreak)
I have learnt that to run some x86 exes, they need to be ARM compiled, I want to learn how this is done, if someone could give me some pointers or give me a tutorial to look at, it would be greatly appreciated. One other question is what program is used (I think I saw someone talking about Visual C++ being used to compile but I'm not sure)
Thanks,
ByAllMeans
