Friends,
Since the Galaxy Tab source code has been released, can anyone speculate on the type of features we could expect to see on the Tab once a custom ROM (perhaps CyanogenMod) is developed? Would we expect to have a solid base of Linux tools available via a custom ROM?
This is my first Android device, I'm coming from the Nokia Maemo platform where you get a mostly intact full Debian Linux system out of the box (full GNU/Linux command line utilities on top of BusyBox, X11, etc).
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It would be great to use the Galaxy Tab as a "complete Linux workstation" at the command-line (the Android GUI is great, but the command-line seems to be greatly lacking).
Thanks
Have you looked at the Ubuntu tread?

I'm not sure if this question is more suiteable here or in development (even though they don't to ask questions there) but has anyone tried installing Arch ARM (the Arch linux fork that supports ARM processors) on galaxy S? if yes how was the experience and what did he install to get a functioning phone?
now there is the new ubuntu phone os out for several samsung devices and it would be so amazing if someone could port that in any kind

Re: (DEV) ubuntu phone os
This doesn't belong in the android development section.

Both the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 10 have different chipsets than our Note (or S2 or even S3).
It runs on an Android kernel, device drivers and some libraries so it could arguably belong in the Android development section.
This also means it's portable to other devices, like the Note. You can use existing Android kernel and drivers and, where necessary, recompile the core code. Source is coming soon and they're releasing a porting guide tomorrow (22nd):

hello exhibit community, i assume this is the correct forum, otherwise sorry mods. i recently "inherited" a t599n and i am taking the challenge of compiling an ubuntu touch rom for the device. i have very little android/pc experience. however, i have successfully built from source (cyanogenmod) and ported quite a few roms to other devices. i just upgraded my ubuntu version to saucy as precise was unable to install the phablet tool. i will be using meticulous's github sources and i will start building tonight/tommorrow depending on repo dl. any dev suggestions?
fail
i was unable to build the meticulus kernel with ubuntu source provided. i was able to build the system.img and boot.img. but w/o the ubuntu touch kernel specifics, the results are a bootloop. im off to new ventures for now as im unable to port anything to this device as of yet. i have some ideas revolved around slimroms soon.
There is something like a cross of kali linux and android. It's compiled for nexus phones and tablets, but i think it should be great on the droid phone, because of physical QWERTY. It seems that nethunter is based on android 4. We need port some drivers for droid hardware and tune up the kernel and some config files. What do you think guys?

Is it possible? Is there anyone can help?
It is possible
Linux Install Complete
I using Lil'Debi for Debian on Android

It is possible to make a ROM ubuntu touch with this tutorial? or there is already a way to install this system in the Nexus 6?
New Device Roms, Dev Ubuntu Touch
I am curious about this as well. I would love to use Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 6. I thought it would eventually be officially supported, but haven't seen anything yet. Any one got this working and if so what functionality because searching gives little results.
Thanks
doesn't look like its for lollipop. all I see on the git is for 4.4.2

there seems to be a leaked rom for another phone. i wonder if this helps?
I'm no expert by a long shot, but doesn't that device use the older version of Android as well? At least the android counter part.
I am super excited about Ubuntu Touch. Now that it has released for real I'm thinking this thread needs a look.
BUMP!
Ubuntu Touch is based on Android 4.4.2. The Nexus 6 never shipped with Android 4.x. So there is an additional complication that no one has figured out how to solve. You need to build a kernel and base from the 4.4.2 source code, which... doesn't exist for the nexus 6 or newer devices.
