I don't need this 'feature', so I'll stick with my beloved N900. I'm booting Debian Wheezy on it. I don't see the need for anything else.
I think you misunderstood - I wasn't excited because i thought it would be possible to run it via nitdroid, i just thought it sounded pretty cool, you know? Like a mini linux laptop that can fit in your pocket, kind of like those old nokias you used to be able to get... Nokia N something or other...

I'm wondering how much of the Android resource hunger will be present, or whether that could be done away with, or at least some sort of minimal configuration to give ubuntu as much as possible...
