Re: Ubuntu on Android

Read this earlier, sounds like the future.

I'm surprised they haven't considered the ChromeOS.

Re: Ubuntu on Android

hell yes, all a phone needs is an HMDI output and a bluetooth keyboard/mouse. I want one

Re: Ubuntu on Android

yeah this looks baller status.

Re: Ubuntu on Android

I imagine it'd only be for very light usage due to heat issues. No torrenting or Flash :lol:

I have used mine for torrents and light usage and it has heated up a bit but not too drastically, i dont know how it would handle it over extended periods of time though.

Re: Ubuntu on Android

Until Ubuntu becomes available as a standalone OS running directly on the phone, does anybody know if it's possible to install Portable Ubuntu to a phone, as you would with any normal USB stick? Something so that you can plug your phone into an existing PC, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=260"]reboot[/url] it, and be running your phone's Ubuntu OS via the host PC?

I don't know about the phone version, but there are tons of usb based linux distros out there already. Do you just want that, or want the phone version specifically on a usb key?

Re: Ubuntu on Android

I want a USB key, but on my phone... I want to be able to plug my phone into a computer, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=260"]reboot[/url] the computer, and have it boot into my phone's OS. Would it be possible? I'm thinking the sdcard usually mounts to /sdcard, and the onboard phone memory may not have ~2gb needed to store all boot files. Plus, would the write of the MBR ruin anything on the phone if it did have enough space?

Re: Ubuntu on Android

Nice.... I have ubuntu running on my laptop... phone would be good too.

Re: Ubuntu on Android

It does look promising, especially its fluidity.

Re: Ubuntu on Android

just bought a small 10'' laptop with ubuntu and swapped out the hd with a samsung pro 128 ssd, love it. much prefer this to an iPad considering the usb 3.0/2.0, hdmi output etc etc.. feels good to be back on linux again.

would be interested in seeing this work though... might actually get me off the iphone :)
