How helpful of you Lorgy!

Nobody has achieved a complete install of Ubuntu so far, so if you want to do it you're in for a VERY long ride. There are initiatives to get it going, have a look around in the forums. But if you're not very technical you might just have to wait until somebody else has made a bootable image

UNL (ubuntu netbook launcher) depend on GL very hard, at least Unity have the elegence to depend on a framework that work on GLES.
UNL fallback on UNL-efl if no GL backend is available.
UNL-efl use EFL to draw so it could be hardware accelerated. But it also depend very hard on GNOME runtime environnement (in fact it crash if it dont find the _horde_ of DBUS gnome services)...

Ubuntu actually runs quite nicely from an SD card! I have it running at the moment.

It was a lot more usable once I ran Ed's scripts... like magic, the mouse-nubs and overclock came to life!

The main problem is the same with any Linux app running on the Pandora - the screen resolution is often too small to show whole windows.
