I am familiar with a couple of different ways of CHROOTing linux img or ext* partitions into Android. However, since this is on top of Android, we are losing alot of performance. There is also a barrier for ARP spoofing/poisoning from that CHROOT environment.
Does anyone know a way to "flash" ubuntu to the streak? or even how to create a ROM that ONLY boots the CHROOTed image?

Just like the title says, does anyone have any insight into installing a regular Linux distribution onto a Nexus One? It seems to use a fairly standard Linux kernel, so I imagine that one major obstacle has been cleared. The main problems are that I don't know how to tell it to go from the kernel into a normal Linux userspace (am I using the correct terminology?), and what sort of names would it use for its hardware devices -- would a regular Linux distribution be able to communicate with them without too much special configuration? (For example, would the MicroSD card be a standard sd* device, or would it have a different name?)
I believe there's a thread on the Nexus One Dev board about installing Debian.
I wrote a howto on booting debian. It wouldn't be too far-fetched to apply this to something like ubuntu/gentoo ect...

OK, i'm hearing all the time about different ROM's being put on phones like cyanogenmod and many others. even some people dual booting. is it possible to dual boot with ubuntu and an android ROM? if you're wondering i have the HP touchsmart (has a touchscreen) would it be possible to boot into android. i've done alot of research but can't find anyone that has done it or has a guide. would it be possible to load it into my grub or are the files entirely different. i've seen people put ubuntu on phones why not android on my laptop. (oh and not the SDK...its too slow to be seriously used and then i'm still using it as more of a virtual machine than an OS)
google search Chromium OS , Beta build , lolz , looks like android
Chromium OS is not android in the slightest!
If you want to play with Android on your PC, there are two ways you can run it:
A) Install the emulator - this is pretty slow, but gives you a phone-in-a-box you can play with
http://www.androidguys.com/2010/12/15/android-emulator/
B) Use Android x86 - a port of Android that runs on PCs
http://www.android-x86.org/
(Grab the generic iso from here: http://android-x86.moonman.dk/old/)
Now either burn that to a cd, and boot from that, create a bootable usb stick with http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ or install it in a VM like VirtualBox
Before I moved up to the good stuff my first tablet was a allwinner A10 and after a little messing around I had a toucscreen linux distro that I could boot right into. I know tegra is a diffrent beast all together but is their any info about getting linux running on this? I'd prefer not to chroot in but a real boot enviroment if possible. I have looked at linux "apps" but just a host of problems with it running either debian or ubuntu
With Multiboot available on the Nexus 4, is it possible to somehow Boot into a Linux distro?
I am aware of the chroot solutions, but what i am searching for is a way to boot a distro from the internal sdcard.
Curious why you would? I guess better control and privacy but does a phone distribution beyond Android even exist?
Several distros support the ARM architecture.
And phone functions?
Is it possible to run a linux desktop os or ubuntu touch on the essential phone?
Taking this one step further, I'm looking to help me in my research, so I want full functionality - can I boot separately to linux and my rom via something like TWRP?

No idea if it works... Good luck
