... somebody smart has uploaded a common Linux version of Euphoria that uses kernel 3.7.9 or above. Perhaps Andorid which is based on Linux kernel (I think, version 3.4) will also be upgrade to Linuc version 3.7 or 3.8.
I'm not a Linux person so excuse any mistaken comments here ... however could you please explain exactly what is in KERNEL 3.7.9 that prevents the current Linux edition of Euphoria from running on Linux releases that are based on that kernel?
I posted this about kernel 3.7 straight from release announcement. "1. Prominent features in Linux 3.7 1.1. ARM multi-platform support
A typical Linux distribution for x86 PC computers can boot and work in hundreds of different PC (different CPU vendor, different GPU models, different motherboards and chipsets, etc) using a single distribution install media. This ability to be able to boot in different hardware configurations is taken as a given in the PC world. However, it didn't exist in the Linux ARM world. The ARM ecosystem has historically been driven by the embedded world, where hardware enumeration isn't even possible in many cases, so each ARM kernel image was targeted for a specific embedded hardware target. It couldn't boot in other ARM systems.
In this release, the Linux ARM implementation has added "multi-platform" support - the ability to build a single ARM kernel image that is able to boot multiple hardware. This will make much easier for distributors to support ARM platforms.

Raspberry PI is based on ARM 6 and Android OS although on ARM based processors and based on Llinux 3.4 kernel remains a distant cousin. Most of the current tables have ARM V7. Since that announcement in December, 2012, there has been a flurry of developmental activity for Linux as we know it in conjunction with Android OS, and the hope is that the two will merge. In the meantime, if the developers HERE do not want to be overstressed and want to release a good euphoria i[on Linux, they should consider choosing and using a Linux distro based on the 3.7.9 (stable version) or 3.8 kernel.
Anyway, as of now, the established developers do not seem to be interested.
