Hello Aus...

oh i see. I wonder if they will port Ubuntu onto those new Android 4.1 "quad core 1.8 ghz" credit card size computers at

ODROID-U

http://www.hardkernel.com/   $69

This would result in a super desktop computer. i feel.

They use the samsung processor chip. Not a Rockchip.

You see, there is already a free APP in the android market that just lets you load ubuntu onto the android computer in one click. I expect that would work. You need the spare micro SD card.

The rockchip one seems to work btw. I ordered one already.

cast-fish:
seems they have already

Will It run Ubuntu or other Linux distros? 

Ubuntu 12.10 is installable. But, we need more optimization / configuration for hardware acceleration.
Refer our forum to access the latest Linux distros.

I checked and these quad boards are not as good value as the............... Dual core Rockchip mk808.  ($50) + free ship

These quad boards come to over 130 dollars when all told.........
$69 plus $30 ship  + $13 SDcard with OS  + Power Brick $10 ...plus Hdmi cable...$5 etc

all of that stuff above comes included with the mk808....so

hiro:
yeah, the odroid people say:
I hope we can release a hardware accelerated X11 driver on Christmas. 

the rockchips are very badly documented but there are indeed 2 people working on some reverse-engineering and kernel-source poker.
