http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/12/ubuntu12-16.pngWe’ve heard the promises of bringing Ubuntu past its comfort zone and into the mobile space, but who wants to wait until 2014 when a home remedy can deliver precisely that right now. XDA-Developer member loglud has been grooming a way to bring the geeky OS to your Barnes & Noble tablet, because – you know – we’re all longing for slates with desktop-scale operating systems on them. At the moment, you can get a quick glimpse of Ubuntu running on the Nook, but porting can only be done via a VNC Server, which opens up plenty of potential avenues for lag to mar the experience. Notably, the delays should all but vanish once a ROM becomes available. Now, if we could only get Jane Lynch to sing her way through letting us know the Nook Tablet can also run Ubuntu, we’d be set. Have a peek at the Glee-less demo vid just after the break.
