    Question installing linux onto a internet tablet?

    HELLO! bin about a year since i've been on.

    anyways. i have purchased an archos 2.8 internet tablet. i have gone through the website and have read that the device is COMPLETeLY open, allowing for people to put android, or even ubuntu onto the device. but do ya think there is any website that google can find with people that have done this? no. the device comes preinstalled with android 2.2 froyo. i enjoy android. but on this little guy i need something a little bit lighter and less bugs. with only having access to a limited french "android market". i certainly got around that and have the full market available, but it was just too much hassle and the device thinks its a phone. what flavor of ubuntu would work will with this wifi touch screen device? heres a link to the device if your wondering what im talking about.

    thanks for any help.

    with that size of a screen ubuntu would be useless!
    plus getting touch to work would be a nightmare.

    wasnt aiming to get ubuntu i know it would be useless, i was thinking more along the lines of MeeGo and the likes for MOBILE devices.
