    Wink Ubuntu for Android

    I've always been curious about the Ubuntu for Android page on the ubuntu home page. Is this a call to manufacturers, or is there a running version of this? If there is a running version, will it run on a 16gb Nook Tablet?

    Thanks in advance!

    They're just aiming at manufacturers right now, there's nothing built that you can download and install.

    I wish! But I think it will happen sooner than later. Then, if you don't need a quad core i7 and 16gb ram computer, this will be perfect for everyday computing. Pretty soon "phones" will ship with 2gb of ram or more, making it possible to do most computing tasks easily. And intel is developing chips that will play advanced 3D games on ultra portable devices.

    I don't know what you need 2 GiB of RAM for in a phone, considering that my Acer Aspire One works perfectly well with Ubuntu 12.04 on half that RAM...
    I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.

    You know, I've only got around 40 or 50 DVDs but do you think I can find Young Frankenstein? But, I did find Blazing Saddles so I watched it instead.

    But I really want to find my Young Frankenstein!
