For giggles I bought "complete linux installer" from the market and had
ubuntu booting on my vzw galaxy nexus in short order. It's doable
without buying the installer, but I was feeling lazy, and it was cheap.
With the full ubuntu/unity install I couldn't even effectively render
the desktop through vnc in any usable fashion. I was going to go back
and put lxde on it, then jumped to jellybean, and haven't really had the
need or want to revisit lately. I also didn't want to bother until the
builds settle down a bit as you're wiping clean to jump roms effectively.
It definitely works, just go with lxde builds for it.
