» How to Install Ubuntu on Your Nexus One/Android! UPDATE: I’ve made a new site called AndroLinux.com to dedicate to Android on Ubuntu. (World’s first installation of Ubuntu on an Android smartphone! WHOOHOO!) This guide is for those of you who want to install Ubuntu as a sub-system under your Nexus One or any other rooted Android smartphone, I’ve tried to make it easy as possible for everyone. UPDATE: Now Ubuntu is also available on HTC Evo 4G!

I am also working on Ubuntu on my rooted HTC Evo 4G, that should be available later this month over at HTCEvoHacks.com.
