[Info-vax] Want ARM subnotebook. Want it NOW. Want it with decent OS and decent price.

[Mazzini Alessandro]

Ah, actually I was thinking about the implementation under webos. I'm not 
sure if the android and webos approach to having ubuntu  ( or debian ) run, 
is the same.

webos requires to repartition the internal ssd, adding an ext3 partition of 
choice ( as dimension ) where the chrooted ubuntu 11 or debian can be 
installed. That done, is just a question of running xterm and add packages 
and a window manager. You still have the smartphone working as a phone... 
webos is decent at multitasking
