Its a one click installer, just make sure you have an unlocked boot loader and a backup!

Note: You need Ubuntu to install Ubuntu on your Nexus 7

I'm downloading rootfs.img right now but its very slow. Can anyone provide a mirror or url for downloading with download managers?

Awesome; so this is a native method for running Ubuntu on the Nexus 7? No VNC or emulation, or running on top of Android? And this does wipe out Android?

This is native, done by a canonical developer. Works surprisingly well on my 8gb. Not super fast but I can browse etc. They keyboard needs work.

Might give it a go in the near future; I have a somewhat decent desktop just sitting doing nothing, looks like it could use some Ubuntu.

now lets talk about dualbooting......if its possible, is it?

Ubuntu is great, I'm just waiting on Steam to make my full conversion. If all valve games are ported I'll be happy.

With this program no. However I'm sure its possible, but my knowledge is limited so I can't help you there. Sorry!

If anyone eventually gets a hold of the img's and can host them for us non-Ubuntu users that would be fantastic.. I might take the gamble of pushing them over without the help of an installer and see what happens.
