I had installed successfully UBUNTU with VNC but result was not one can use daily so removed in one hour, though good for experiment.
And our OB processor is not enough powerful you can throw Linux. Minimum requirement for UBUNTU is dual core processor.
Search UBUNTU on mobile, or UBUNTU;s official site.

I don't mean linux on androi, I mean installing linux instead of android and I'd like to use Angstrom and if galaxy spica and gio can run it our OB will do it !And it doesn't requires prosessors clock and a lot of ram because there is no android, it runs along as native os.And i know about ubuntu for mobile, it runs on android and it is like a linux on android.

Android is based on Linux, so what do you expect by running Linux on OB?
I don't have time to do that, so I'll just wait and see your progress then...

In the past I had a chinese android device which had 3 options of booting: Android, Linux(I think ubuntu) and Windows CE.
It's really very nice to run linux because it looks like a real pc :)

Win 95 can run alongside android but if u want to make it your native os u must work alot to port it.And in this thread i don't mean runing any os with android i mean runnning linux dis. instead of android.
