[Q] Linux on A100

---

Hi, Has anyone been able to, or know of information on getting one of the linux distros onto the A100? (prefer something with a tablet interface like Ubuntu/Unity)

Cheers, hoss

If you mean to boot directly in Linux like the thread in A500 forum. No. Or not have been posted here.
Otherwise it's possible. You can run linux over android and connect to it from vnc on localhost but have a lag.

I'm sure it's doable. I am planning on reading up on the A500 forum and do it.

From what I saw scanning the posts, It sounds like they are running it as a VM and accessing gnome via vnc. Otherwise they just have cmd line.

Yes, using the 'Linux Installer' way with vnc n stuff works. I tested ubuntu n backtrack. Ubuntu works fine, just dont go with thu full ubuntu as it has unity on it and is just too damn laggy. Backtrack fails everytime. I havent tested the debian one yet though.

That's what i'm saying it's possible trough vnc.And it's not just terminal it's a working desktop machine.I did it following this instructions with little modifications.
But saying like the thread in A500 forum i mean this thread from wich they booting directly in Linux without Android at all.
