Ubuntu on Motorola Xoom

The Motorola Xoom just out - and without Flash, or 4G card reader - it is already hacked. A user has successfully installed Ubuntu 9.10 on the shelf, as amended ARM. Installation is not simple, the instructions are online, but Android and Ubuntu running in parallel on the shelf. The advantage of the latter is that it uses a fast ARM SoC (Tegra 2) and it offers a screen resolution of 1280 x 800, making it more efficient to animate a basic netbook Ubuntu even if the price is obviously not the same.

Hope that Ubuntu is more stable and more complete than the system currently in use Android 3.0 on the shelf, which in the opinion of the first testers was very perfect. And it is not certain that Motorola will accept a tablet under Ubuntu for the activation of 4G factory ...
