Alright, I am not a noob by any means BUT I am very new to Linux and Eclipse. Basically what I want to know is, what can I do (with research obviously) with these?
What's your favourite distribution of Linux? Not only on phone or portable device but also on desktop/server.
Then I will start:
1. Ubuntu 9.10
2. Damn Small Linux
3. iPodLinux ;P
4. openSUSE
and right now I'm downloading backtrack, I want to try it .
1. Ubuntu
2. Slackware

Jolicloud... we all love jolicloud...
- Ubuntu 10.10
- does Android count?
well i will say ubuntu but i didn't try any other linux distro yet (my desktop doesn't let me start the computer with linux so i can only install linux on my laptop )
Would have been Ubuntu... But now after seeing this I'm tempted by DSL and Jolicloud
Android
Ubuntu

OpenSuse
Ubuntu, Android, ChromeOS, not necessarily in that order.
Ubuntu and Android. Those are the only 2 I've used.
Have to go with Ubuntu - It is almost brainless to install and maintain.
I used to use Fedora for a few years, but switched to Ubuntu for its more stable releases. I also am alpha testing Haiku at the moment. My little sister uses Jolicloud.
I just wish I could get the rest of the family to use Linux over Windows.
EDIT: I almost forgot that I'm running Rhobuntu on occasion when I need my Linux fix and am not near a PC.
Archlinux is best I've ever seem for personal use.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu live
Knoppix
Debian (server)
Android

Only tried Ubuntu until now.
I don't think Android realy is a Linux distro, it's Linux based, but heavily modified, even Google said it's not Linux (correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm a big Slackware guy. Been using it since the mid 90s.
Another Android & Ubuntu vote.
Seriously I want to vote for opensolaris but there are no upfront development on the desktop side, so I'd give fedora as my next best option.
Has anybody attempted installing any actual Linux OS on an android handset? Was reading about it in the Ubuntu forums and saw it was possible.
So next week I am going to install Ubuntu onto my old Hauwie Ascend, which is currently running CM7. If anybody has done this before, I'd appreciate any tips or pointers. Peace!

Hi,
I am still running 2.3.6 because of I am enjoying webtop 2.0, however, I though upgrade to ICS is a must very soon, and I am looking for a "real" webtop.
webtop2sd cannot run on Droid 4, ubuntu using VNC... is there any options for Droid 4? I want a native ubuntu or other linux like webtop on my Droid 4.
I have google already but found it seem impossible? If anyone have any hints, please let me know.
Million thanks!
Kent
I run Ubuntu on mine from an IMG. It works just ducky for me. Does everything I want and then some.

What's wrong with the tablet mode in ICS - seems to work fine for me. Some apps even display differently when in that mode.
Cheers,

Hey there,
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering why so many people use linux to build android apps. Shouldn't Android Studio be the same for both the operative systems? I've got a pretty decent computer, so I don't think I could see any speed difference. Currently I have both OS installed on my hard disk.
bad thinking
Its really bad thinking

What do you mean?
There is no big difference in developing android apps on Linux or win or mac . Linux is preferred because its free and android ROM and kernel development is easy on Linux compared to Mac and windows. Otherwise app development is same on all three OS .
