Ubuntu Linux is now ready to power your appliances and robots

Snappy Ubuntu Core is getting off to a modest start. The early focus is on hardware for enthusiasts and pros who don't mind jumping in with both feet. Right now, you'll mostly see the software on developer boards like the Beaglebone Black and Odroid-C1, an educational drone from Erie Robotics and some Intel Xeon-powered servers.

However, Canonical promises The Next Web that partnerships with big-name companies are coming. It may not be too long before you're outfitting your home with Ubuntu-based devices that are more powerful (and hopefully more trustworthy) than what you use today.
