Ubuntu 7.04 by Handhelds Mojo. A bit slow, but mostly works. Used xfce as desktop environment. Wanted to show Firefox, but it doesn't start for some reason (eats 100% CPU for ~2min and then does nothing). Will try upgrading to 8.04.

Well the raw ubuntu is probably a little slow for that

Wow, that's amazing! I'd still prefer a lighter gui than a windowed variant, but that's great that you got it working! What speed was the cpu running at?

Exactly what I thought. That is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever, ever seen. Wow, it's real!

Certified notebook? Heck, hook it up to a monitor and it's a Certified Computer. I think everyone knew that a full functioning desktop Linux would run on the Pandora, finally someone has done it. Not very long and I'll be holding one!!!!!!!!

Great work! A mobile desktop environment is defiantly better then XFCE but this is good to see. If nothing else it might stop the ubuntu threads.
