TechCrunch: The First Ubuntu Smartphones Will Debut In October. http://goo.gl/mag/U3zcak6

Dev previews later this month. Just curious if anyone else is interested enough to poke our hox devs into a working port =D

We have a talented pool of devs here. I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them took it as a side hobby.

I'm more curious about the firefox OS than this, honestly. Android is already a bastard child of linux, so Ubuntu isn't going to be any stretch beyond getting drivers and a dialer working.

I would love to see Ubuntu ported to my Evita. I have already run BT5 via chroot and android vnc but having it ported would be f-ing awesome!

hmm

i imagine this wont be easy and probably a bad idea for a n00b like myself but im happy to put in the time and effort to bring ubuntu to the evita if theres someone out there willing to provide general instruction. is a true port possible or will it have to be built from source?

if any devs have some ideas of where to start ill gladly take a good hard crack at it when its released this week. if not, well just have to be patient and wait for the real developers to do the job :cyclops:

Apparently you should be able to drop in an android kernel. So a port should be possible without compiling the kernel. Really lookig forward to seeing ubuntu on my phone.
