Default [Q] Linux on the Iconia?

I apologize in advance if there already is a thread on this, but I couldn't find anything. Any way to possibly run Linux off of a USB stick or dual boot or anything? I saw the thread about natively running it but I was just curious as to whether or not there is a way to run both? (Android and Linux)

This thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1158260

Does it talk about Linux on USB? Or is it just referring to installing it instead of the android os?

Why don't you read it and find out? I've not been following it so don't have a clue.
