Developer prefers android system because the SDK’s and software is open, allowing user-friendly customization. However, a few OEMs may agree to disagree when it comes to installing their own custom ROMs and OSs, Motorola is a fine example.
Motorola has found a way to install another open source project onto the Motorola Xoom. Surprisingly, it’s not any variation of Android, but it’s Linux Ubuntu 9.10. Uh? Yes, you read it correctly.
If you desire to change your OS, then you have to forgo your Xoom’s warranty. If you try it then ensure you have an excellent back up recovery system up and ready, to get back to factory settings if anything goes wrong for any reason. The instructions are long, and not for the apprehensive users.
If Unbuntu is your love, then read the set up instructions here. Let us know how your experience.
