I have been playing around with a half trashed nexus 7 tablet ( Broken touch screeen glass) I managed to install ubuntu 13.04 thinking i was getting the "ubuntu touch" version. so now i need to know whats the best way to switch from ubuntu 13.04 to the ubuntu touch version. do i have to go back to android to do this or can i go straight from one ubuntu to the other?

Realize that if you do make the switch, according to the details in that link, NOTHING is shown as "working" on the Nexus 7 using "grouper". So, you will get to be an "alpha tester" -- like it or not.

thats fine with me . :D just gaining the experience of useing linux/ubuntu is keeping me busy.
I restored android to the tablet last night , that seems to be the easiest way to switch to touch.
