It is tested to work on both the 5.0 and 4.0.
I take none of the credit, I am just pointing out a cool "app."

Don't have time to try it out yet, but I do have a question about the driver support.
Since it is a full blown linux distro, does it come with usb audio driver, otg support and etc?

After install, how would I run Ubuntu? Is it like an app I can open? How would this effect android? How would I get back to android after each Ubuntu run? Thanks

You do not install anything other than the one app. You run a few commands to start it. Then you open the app. to connect to the Ubuntu "server." it is actually running in the background like an app. would, but you can exit at any time. Read more on the link that I posted along in this thread.

You will need to buy a copy of Windows and install it side by side with your Mac OSX via Bootcamp
Best option is to Google it, Apple have a lot of information on it (its very easy to do)
Parellels should work as well. Very similar to bootcamp, but it runs inside osx.

Yes, been using linux on the desktop for more than 10 years now. Mostly developing, mostly mathematical related. I've used different distro's, but the last 3 years I've settled on ubuntu as it is quick to set up and all software I need is supported for it.

There exists something like VMWare, that allows to run one os inside an other. This works both ways. What also is possible is to use wine in linux, with it you can run windows programs from your linux desktop. This works very well, I use it to manage my tracks in MapSource (a program for garmin sport gps).

It could be, there are alot of different ways to run windows/linux together, you will find what best works you. It is for instance also possible to install the two next to each other, then at boot you choose the os you want to boot into..
There exists a couple of different ubuntu forums. Normally you should get a lot of help. When I got into linux, there existed a linux user group (LUG) at my university. You might see if a LUG exists near you.
I use VMware workstation. It's good Its worth the money Im able to run Ubuntu on Windows using this.

Using linux for gaming, it's like using a F/A-18 Hornet, for transporting pets
and about the windows thing, you can even install WINDOWS on windows, if u know what i mean
haha totally agreed D4rKn3sSyS
i use and ubuntu and win7 they are different on many points but imo
on topic
if you want gaming and you like windows interface just stay on it
still if you want to try it ubuntu play alot of windows games (not fully) like no shaddows and directX things..
linux is nice but you need "terminal work" not like windows with ok buttons...
up to you always !

While technical there is no issue to run it on the mini. I think it is more useful to run this on a tablet. For example the eee pad transformer with dock. This 'transforms' your transformer into a netbook..
There is a method that involves setting up a vnc server. This works well, but does not run at the fastest possible speed (though, it is doable). XDA members are working on a native implementation. This would make tegra2 tablets dual boot. Seems like best of both worlds.
Playing and browsing in the sofa: android. Continuing your project on the go or in the library: linux desktop (for example ubuntu).

There has been some troubleshooting for drivers issues go to my FAQ tips and tricks which is stickied and scroll down to Drivers Issues. Most likely if you have installed drivers of other android devices will cause trouble, second do not install sdk use the adb drivers provided with any of the root methods.

I always recommended ccleaner for clean registries, temp files, etc its the best for windows and safe. I have never had any problems with it. Its perfect for clean your PC before start this kind of stuffs.

Hi guys,
I've got a little bit stupid question. Is it possible to boot a linux or windows os instead of android? I saw something, if I remember right, there was an app which booted linux os. But it should be like custom ROM. Just want to know .

On some devices you can have a native port of Linux, if your rooted you can use my project to install Linux on top of android.
Only way you can get windows is using qume to emulate a desktop CPU as windows can not run on ARM procssors

Well yes in the sense there's no android but its not really a ROM in the sense of the word used here.
Only some devices have native ports as they need unlocked boot loaders and the dev team to get it working

Hey,
I installed Ubuntu on my Archos 101 G9. First Ubuntu was not willing to boot but I changed the zimage like it's recommend here and afterwards it works.
But if Ubuntu booted the touchscreen still doesn't work. Not as touchscreen, not as touchpad. It doesn't react on any touches. The only reaction I get is if I press the PowerButton (the shutdown-menu appears) or the volume buttons (the animation of making the sound louder oder quieter appars).
I read nearly the complete 25 pages but didn't get any idea why it doesn't work in my case.
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Erik
It seems that the ubuntu build you downloaded does not have touchscreen driver for you. Which ubuntu did you download?

I did it once with the V0.2-Image from this post but tried it also with the image from this post. Both didn't work
Hi, in fact there is not touchscreen on ubuntu: it is rather a touchpad: you have to move the mouse and to click .
This is why i am not using ubuntu (have to use mouse with touchpad even to type on keyboard)

It means no one of the developers have that touchscreen. You must fix it yourself. I can't guide it because I do not have the skill.
