Nexus One and HTC Evo Hacked To Run Ubuntu
Android enthusiast out there has successfully hacked their device and install Ubuntu on Nexus one and HTC Evo 4G in this week alone. The folk at nexusonehacks.net and htcevohacks.com which is run by the same brilliant guy has achieved this feat and making it looks pretty easy. The end result is neat and awesome. If only if I have this device, I would try for the same, but sadly HTC Magic that I own is too slow to run this stuff, just my guess.
Rooted phone is the main perquisite to get this stuff running, in case you’re interested to do so at home. The instruction as well well as videos to install Ubuntu has been posted in respective site, with I have linked below, so enjoy! Based on the result, it looks like Ubuntu is running slightly faster in Nexus one than HTC Evo, but the result may vary.

Only things of issue are one.) alarm clock had no pop up to dismiss or snooze the first time I used it. It’s been great since then but wow- that was interesting. Had to turn it off to quit the song! 2.) One day, all my imported (at Sprint store) contacts disappeared. Only the ones I had hand loaded directly remained. I lost ~ 113 names, numbers that I have no idea how to get back. They are not in my gmail or anything..
