What about Enlightenment?
http://www.linuxuk.org/2010/02/the-n...buntu-devices/

i'm installing it. lets see.
the reason why it's still not posted, i have a problem with the xstartup file of tightvnc. for some reason it is not running the commands for the ui, so there is just an empty xserver in vnc until i start icewm lxde manually. i think it would be the same with efl, and i had until today to less time to check out whats wrong.

edit: netbook-launcher-efl + metacity + maximus is looking fine

Is there any way to not use VNC? Can you dual boot or otherwise get into X ?

or possibly something like freenx client on android maybe??? in hopes that it's faster than vnc. if we can't boot into ubuntu.
edit - scratch that, i read you need X to use freenx... kinda defeats the point there.

i thought there was something else though that fowards all the window data over like lightning fast.

I found until now two possibilities but both needs much work. First taking the wayland xserver client and port it to android, or port weirdx to android.

Hmm... so back to the dual boot question... What about something like this guy did?

Would that also work on the XOOM?

Me personally, I'm not interested in another Linux Distri as main System
1. I would miss the android functionallity and feel, because of that I would never boot Ubuntu.
2. Only android has the needed touch support for a tablet. Maybe this changes i future ubuntu releases.

Because of that my primary target is a more seamless integration of a ubuntu subsystem in android, so we can use many beloved functions without much work. So there is the best of both worlds in the same time avaliable.

Makes sense. My motivation for research and all this is that I want to do (light) web development and server administration on the tablet as well. Of course, buying that bluetooth keyboard makes it all feasible and I'm not looking to do heavy amounts of work on it, but I want to ditch my netbook. For starters, the tablet lasts longer in terms of battery life and the form factor is better.

Other than that, to me, tablets serve merely as an entertainment purpose (unless maybe you're using it to bill people or for a sales pitch/meeting) and I can't justify the cost. A $600 travel Scrabble is retarded. So I think tablets need something like Ubuntu running on them in order for them to be a more productive device that is a justifiable expense.

Right now the biggest thing that I'm thinking about is gedit and git. If I can get those two... Then I think I'd be pretty much set. I think there's actually two or three text editors for Android as is and I might be able to use those provided I could get git for Android.

The graphical user interface isn't the most important thing so I can even live w/o the VNC. Having a local webserver would be rad, but not a high priority since I can use git to update a server on the net.

If you have any ideas, and I know it's getting somewhat off topic, but your research is really the crux of my situation...I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

--edit ok, so i found www.cloud9ide.com which will cover me I guess. but still I want more power under the hood. I really appreciate your work efforts! Thanks.
