Everything is possible pressuming that drivers for your hardware are available.

After that everything is trivial... loading/running kernel, mounting some file system, running some user-space programs from there...

Mmmmm, anyone have try a full debian rom ?
i tried with good results but i prefere to install stuff and run it directly on kernel without doing chroot..

i'm still working on it because i have no time.. but the result will be a software "ipkg" (like apt-get on debian like distros) that allow you to install apps and run it directly.. that meas few mb to download and run and faster software..

I've got a problem - I booted into recovery and ran the adb shell, but I can't cd to /sdcard/ubuntu - /sdcard working fine, but when I ls inside it, it returns no results. It seems I can't access any folders from the SD card from the adb shell. Help!

I solved that problem by mounting the SD card (mount /sdcard/ then cd /sdcard/ubuntu), but when I tried sh ./bootubuntu it said something like "can't umount /data/ubuntu/devs". I think there more to the folder it was umounting than that, but I can't remember.
