Via VM.

If you search you'll find a thread or two about it in these tab2 forums.

too bad, I'm looking for Linux/Ubuntu running exclusively at boot time (without VM)

Me too, that would be so nice. I don't know what i'd need to do to get that working though. The thought of sharing resources between Android and Ubuntu on a tablet doesn't really excite me.

This should be VERY soon... I ran it for a while using all the workarounds, but soon these should full be available. Check out the latest from The Verge -- http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/20/40...hands-on-video
