Ubuntu on Android

[Michael Butash]

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.
