Tom te tom te tomWhat, you mean like every other tablet out there that hasn't been rooted or re-flashed by someone who knows what they're doing, and then set up a chroot on it? Which in itself is a decidedly non-trivial operation. Chief, we're talking about tablets here: if the lady in question wanted a full GNU stack and the ability to apt-get install things we would be talking about laptops, not tablets. Do try and keep up :] Cheers
oops wrong link!https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices#Working_with_phablet-flash Doesnt look harder than installing linux a few years back. So you can get a nexus 7 or 10 and turn it into back into a real computer - and the lady in question can get her sysadmin to do this for £130 for a second hand nexus7 and the sysadmin can get a trio of spares and still be up on the deal. I've got a mate who's going to try it on his phone and as soon as a version for the 5 comes out I'm trying it - if I'm not busy with the new Dell Chromebook and crouton coming out in feb ish or that damn parallella may have arrived.
