Ubuntu on Kindle
Okay, don't get too excited yet - I'm asking, not sharing.
Anyway, my question is whether anyone has heard anything about hacking or a full Linux distribution on it. And I'm wondering if anyone would want to do that (and lose some of the custom Amazon software for readers). |

i doubt anyone's working on it yet, since the device isn't released yet...

I'm sure it's possible, maybe not ubuntu, but you can make/whatever a distro for them, as has been done with many phones, i.e. the n900
