Searching around the web I found this ( http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android ) interesting title and got very interested in it, unfortunately didn't find any download link or description on how to install or something similar. Please I'm very interested in this, hope others wish to install something except Android too, cause I'm really tired of stock laggy rom.:mad:

Ubuntu had stated that ubuntu for android is only available to participating OEM. So u get the feature out of the box.. Something similar to Motorola webtop os.. I am also interested in it but I guess u have to wait until the end of the year for it. Currently the are ways to install ubuntu as a virtual machine. But it look difficult to install. And I doubt think arc hardware can Handel it

Thanks for quick reply guys, yea I saw that it need dual-core, but I think Arc's hardware will run Ubuntu, if my old crappy laptop can which is 1.2Ghz :D and 256Mb ram, I think my Arc will do too.

In order to run ubuntu in vnc do I need to run terminal everytime and cd to the ubuntu folder etc? Or just the first time? Ive ran ubuntu already straight after installation.
