Linux lands on Android 4.0-toting MK802 mini PC





If the MK802 piqued your interest but has you pining for Ubuntu, Linux Questions forum user michaelfisk has a solution. The secret sauce is a pre-baked image of Ubuntu 10.04 modified for a different device using the same 1.5 GHz processor. Simply slide a microSD card prepped with a bootable image of the distro into the mini PC and you're set. 


Though Lucid Lynx can be coaxed to run on the mini PC without considerable hassle, performance isn't exactly top notch -- unseemly load times and a few kinks are reportedly throughout the experience.
