If anyone wants to try it

Root your phone. Plenty of guides about.

Download this zip - http://minus.com/mKGww7gIl#2

Extract into a folder on your SDcard directory called ubuntu.

Download a terminal emulator, loads in the market.

Then run...

su

cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh

Will most likely give an error then say starting ubuntu this may take a while. just leave it.

VNC in (androidVNC is nice and simple) Localhost, pass:ubuntu, port:5900 24bit colour.

Jobs a gudun

Are you seriously going to use it as a desktop replacement?

What do you actually do on your desktop?
