For that you need a dock to which peripherals can be connected.
And when that is installed, nothing in Android is different. Its like running Cm9/10. But when you connect it to a monitor via a dock, you get a full Ubuntu desktop on that monitor.

IS there a possibility of bricking?
No, since it only installs somehing like an app on your internal/external sd card.

If you have games, especially cool gameloft ones.
You know how hard and frustrating it is to play with the fingers on your screen.
The only phone that lets you enjoy the game fully is the Xperia Play.
Is there and app where you can connect the PS3 controller via USB or Bluetooth wireless (how it connects to PS3) to play games?
Not like WiiMote that remote is confusing ......
It would be awesome if it was really especially if your phone has TV out support.
Well is there an app like this?
You couldn't use a ps3 controller with phones, because PS3 contollers are linked with their PS3's or PC via Mac Address, so unless there is a full-size usb-to-mini usb (or whatever the phone usb port is called) and someone develops drivers for the phone, you can't use a PS3 controller at all.
On a tablet running 3.1+ could use it wirelessly and wired but only them.

Has anyone tried playing Minecraft yet using the Debian or Sogarth's Mod? Is it impossible to play, or does it actually run smoothly?

It's actually not possible...
The ATRIX has an arm based processor not intel, unless they publish the source for it and can be compiled for the arm architecture its not gonna happen.

Actually, I take that back.. its a java based game, but still requires standard opengl graphics libraries.. android uses opengl es.. not sure what the diff is but its definitely not the same.
Having said all that, indie games is porting it to android / ios so well have a client eventually for our uber phones

well i have actualy tried getting it to run when i was running 1.83 with ubuntu webtop mod and i went as far as the downloading update and such but after that i got a black screen this was running the browser version as that was the only thing i could get to work.
Oh man. My dreams of playing minecraft on the go just disappeared

it actually can be done. (or it should) i also have an acer iconia a500. and someone got minecraft playing in linux via chroot. they had to install some kind of driver. ill try to find the post.
edit-
that was easy (finding it)
look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14375898
edit again.
being there don't appear to be any hardware accelerated 3d drivers. its going to run really bad. i would wait for the official app or some good drivers
Is there anyway to use the webtop application or any sort of full linux on the phone instead of having to output on the hdmi?

As far as I know no there isn't, although I think it would be pretty cool.
Yes there is. I read an article where a man managed to run ubuntu and connect to it using a VNC viewer. Im not sure how but look around the forums. What u need to do is install ubuntu using the ubuntu install script available in the development forum and then install a VNC viewer from the market. Its been done b4. Its cumbersome and not much use, but it works.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
So was the vnc viewer to connect to the x server or whatever I forget what the right terminology is im tired
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Exactly. VNC viewer is used to "remotely" connect to X server since the atrix display drivers are configured specifically for android and do not support X at all. Like i said, its a cumbersome system, but it works.
So im guessing that would require a network connection and it would have the typical lag when using vnc

There's no app to simple app development (like appinventor) to do it on the phone or tablet? Maybe the easiest way is to run ubuntu and install SDK, eclipse...? What do you think?

App inventor is still going for now I think but next easiest way is a basic programming language basic4android which though easy to learn and use can produce very complex apps I created media streaming and contact widget apps and others have created bittorent search engines, video players, spreadsheet apps and games so is something worth looking into as it also has an ide you can use to develop on your android device though main ide is windows based.

Terminal IDE is what you want. You should know basic Linux terminal commands to use it, but it has good tutorials... It's a large app (~30MB) but it's an entire terminal emulator with the ability to develop Java on your Android. It also doesn't require root.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Oh that's good to know. Where can I download? So basically the development is done via command line?

Sorry, i don't really get it yet... Does it run entirely on android? If so, how does it differ from launchers? And can it run on other linux kernel, specifically a x64 one? I would like to have a touch-friendly linux on my tablet which i could dual-boot with windows 8.1 (x64 version, not RT) without using any virtualizing, emulating, or buggy workarounds like android-x86...

Use a better wm/de on ubuntu x64 that's better for touch rather than looking at ubuntu arm

Can you suggest me a WM or a DE suitable for touch? I have tried kde active, but it launched into the regular kde
