Dear Droid LIfe,

Did you know that it’s possible to link to OTHER websites instead of every single link just being back to your own site?

Although this is a cool concept, this really seems like a failure in terms of long term proposition. How many people in the real world use Ubuntu — 1%, 2%? The majority use windows, mac. For this idea to succeed I believe a significant amount of users will need to use the chosen OS, not just hobbyists.

Looks more like you are the one that needs to do some research.

I think this is the wave of the future, just imagine Chrome OS instead of Ubuntu. I bet Google has been working on this for sometime now.
Imagine if there was something like the Asus Padfone where we had a phone that seamless docked with a table, but also had keyboard/mouse attachment like the Transformer Prime. So if you connected the keyboard to the table, it would launch into Chrome OS and have everything integrated. How cool would that be.
Phone –> Tablet –> Chrome Book One device to rule them all.

Will this be an installable Android app? Or will manufacturers/rom devs need to bake this in at the kernel level?

Hopefully CyanogenMod incorporates this into future releases. With them toying with Cornerstone, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them embrace this.

I’m looking at this from a mobile platform point of view rather than a Linux point of view.

Everyone(yeah I know not everyone literally) has a smartphone and Android devices are over half of that market. If the “norm” becomes plugging your smartphone into a monitor and running the alternate(linux based) OS from it, you’ll see wide adoption.

It says system requirements are 512MB RAM for this. Regular Ubuntu really needs more, but I doubt that this will be a complete full-blown Ubuntu. It will most likely be stripped down and redesigned to function well on a phone, so they very well could significantly lower system requirements. What I don’t like is that they are using regular Ubuntu defaults for a lot of things… I would have liked to see more Android-centric Ubuntu apps.

This is what Motorola’s lapdock ought to have been in the first place. Now, how to gut my Cr48 to run this with my Droid . . .

I’m guessing it would be on its own partition, most likely on internal memory. But this is by design; the dev community can hack it any way they want.
