Ubuntu ported on Galaxy S

If you thought that loading Android on iPhone was geeky enough, think again. We say this as an XDA Developer forum member Armin Coralic has gone a step ahead. This guy has managed to install and run Ubuntu on Samsung Galaxy S smartphone! Yes, GNU Linux Kernel based Ubuntu operating system can run on your smartphone albeit the port doesn't work as fast as the Android itself. But we can expect other enthusiasts to tweak it.

A week back Armin Coralic, posted on his blog details on how to create chroot environment for ARM architecture based processors and run Ubuntu Linux OS. However this Ubuntu Linux version is a stripped down form of the same. Later, Coralic posted a step-by-step method of porting Ubuntu on Galaxy S. 

For those who wish to avoid the hassle of creating a compatible image file, Coralic has already posted link to download his version. Since this is the initial port, we don't know if all components of Ubuntu are functional. Do note that if you don't know what you're doing, you might just end up turning your phone into a dead paperweight.
