So I was woundering since we have a debian and Ubuntu webtop mod running on this wounderful device if it would be possible to put BackTrack 5 on the webtop. Also the new release has an ARM build version and if bootloader ever gets unlocked if it would be possible to actually run backtrack as your standerd OS with the backtrack kernel.

Anybody have any input at all

In theory it should be possible since Backtrack is also Debian based just like Ubuntu.
In the forum for Acer Iconia A500 there is a tutorial on installing backtrack 5 in VNC which should work on the atrix as well, both having dual core 1Ghz chip and 1GB Ram but not sure if this would work in webtop.
Thank you guys, I was actually on the back track website and they said they got it working somewhat on the xoom with the ARM architechure

It will indeed work in webtop just needs some more work.

Is it at all possible for the Windows 8 os to be ported to our android devices? Don't hate please..just a noob being a noob

Definitely not the full version but possibly RT.RT is the windows 8 version that runs on ARM processors.
Would be an interesting dual boot
Like posted above, the full version of Windows 8 is not meant for the ARM architecture that Android phones use, but RT (found on the RT Surface Tablet) is.

It would still need a custom kernel and drivers, which seeing windows rt is very locked down I doubt it will happen.

If you try to compile anything 4.0+ your going to have a bad time. unless you have 4 gig ram, not even GB.
I have added some specs on OP

If you are trying to compile, its not going to matter, your specs are too low.

+1 Netbooks are intended for nothing more than browsing the web. To try to make it run some resource-intensive function is askimg for trouble. If even just consider that Windows has to be stripped down just to make it work right, you should realize that you're computer isn't quite up to the job.

I am only compiling kernels on my laptop and it takes at least 15 minutes on my celeron 1.86 GHz and 1 gig RAM. Compiling whole android system on a netbook is very bad idea, it takes a lot of CPU power and Intel Atom is not designed to work on high loads.
Thank you for advices

I know this is an old post, but i have a cheap 11.6inch laptop/netbook that came with 4gb of single channel ddr3 ram and a 320gb hdd, put 8gb of ram and a 480gb sandisk ssd in even though it only has sata 2 and it runs fine
Intel n2840 dual core celeron, 1mb cache. (2.16ghz and 2.58ghz boost)
Very low power it is fanless, acer aspire e3-112.
Compiles cm12.1 fine for my n9005, only takes half an hour
Edit -
I use arch as my primary, but use xubuntu 15.10 to build with. Did have some problems dual booting with grub and uefi but managed to sort it out.
Great cheap setup with really good battery life, 11.6inch 1366x768 screen.
Has anyone tried using the install instructions as a guide for installing Ubuntu on the nexus 10? If so, how much work will it take to get a bootable Ubuntu on our device? Ubuntu definitely supports our CPU, as it is on a Samsung chromebook that has the same processor. Sorry to junk up the forums, but I'd really like some info on the possibility of this happening.
EDIT: they also share the same quad core GPU. I really don't see why Ubuntu won't run on this out of the box...

I believe there are a few devs looking into it at the moment. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012294
I've seen this. It seems no one has updated in a while, so I was assuming it was forgotten.
I was also thinking maybe chrubuntu would be the logical place to start, because that is an alpha that is working already on the chromebook.

Hey !
I've tried the linux emulation but it's not really efficient to use with a lapdock, so how can i install ubuntu and use it properly on my modded atrix lapdock ??
Thank you very much
No way yet. The only hope is porting ubuntu for phone when it will be released.

Could I request a port of Ubuntu touch? I think it would rock to see that beast in action!
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
We are all dying to try it, but we need a Dev to take on the port.
Darn... If I had more knowledge on how to do this I would totally take a wham bam whack at it. I guess reading the forums its a branch off CM 10... I could be wrong. It did say it uses a mirrored git repo and is supported for all official cm10 devices.

My tablet has a ubunto rom i have the Acer Iconia A500, its a rough build n most things dont work...itll be cool to run somethin new
From what I've heard Ubuntu touch is basically android running Ubuntu touch on top of it, but that was the tablet version so idk about the phone version. Later versions of Ubuntu touch should be full Ubuntu base though.
Sent from my Infected Rezound using xda app-developers app
Touch runs along side the android virtual machine. In about a year we should see the full Ubuntu mobile app on there own hardware running natively without an android base. The Ubuntu mobile is supoost to be one of the biggest leaps ever in terms of mobility. Its sup post to run on your phone dock with a tablet and even have the ability to use as a low end computer. In short its gonna be awesome!
