[[Mer]] is a new Linux operating system, built upon a thin base of Ubuntu Jaunty combined with the best open-source elements of Nokia's Maemo platform, such as the Hildon desktop.

	[[Mer]] began as an idea that, due to Nokia's push to make most of Maemo open source, it should be possible to "reconstruct" Maemo using only open source elements. The "Maemo Reconstructed" proof of concept developed into Mer as it became clear to the developers that this was a viable environment for both developers and end-users.

	Unlike its predecessor, Deblet, Mer avoids using proprietary closed-source binaries to achieve functionality. Consequently, there are still some missing pieces (such as drivers) to achieve full functionality on a pure Mer system.
