This is full tutorial how to run Linux debian

CREDITS to zacthespack
And DEBIAN INSTALLER APP,

Requirements:
  1. Rooted Xperia X8
  2. Eclair + Stock Kernel working just like custom ROM/Kernel
  3. 4 GB sdcard or more (because 2GB SDcard in real is 1,83GB and debian.img is 1.91GB :( )
  4. vnc viewer- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.androidVNC

So first download boot script
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Debian/Script/debian-script.zip/download


Download image (1.91GB Extracted)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/files/Debian/Image/Small/debianv1-small.zip/download

Extract files in debian folder on root of sdcard "/sdcard/debian/"

Open terminal emulator and type

Code:
su

Code:
cd /sdcard/debian/

Code:
sh debian.sh

You will be asked for resolution
Set on 480x320

Open vnc viewer and set
  • Ip:127.0.0.1
  • Port : 5900
  • Password:debian

When you wanto end type in terminal emulator
Code:

Have anyone actualy tried this?
I dont think this is possible, maybe for dual or quad core but not for our xperia...
(I didn't try by myself because I don't have internet connection :( )
