Here is something interesting, an installer that lets you install Ubuntu onto your Android device:

Those of you running a rooted Android may be pleased to learn of Ubuntu Installer, a Market app which - yes, you’ve guessed it - installs Ubuntu. Even for the unseasoned tinkerer, it’s pretty simple to install – providing you check for the compatibility of your device/ ROM in advance.

Anyone want to give this a go?
:D

If for nothing else just curiosity.

But I'll pass on Ubuntu, not my cup of coffee and yes, I would probably revert back to Android within a few minutes.

It doesn't seem so, just checking if my device is supported and then I'll give it a quick try, hang on a minute.

When it comes to Linux on my phone, I prefer Android. :)

Is there proper driver support for ARM and Mali chipsets in this flavor of Ubuntu for the Galaxy S2?
