Over on the xda developers forum, [exception13] shows us the work he’s put into geting Debian running on his Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070139), allowing him to dual boot Android and Linux on a single device.
The project is still in a fairly early state, but so far [exception13] has most of the goodies required for a decent Linux experience running already. There’s WiFi, bluetooth, sound, usb-otg and touchscreen support, as well as support for the Note’s S Pen, the Wacom digitizer that basically turns the Galaxy Note 10.1 into an Intuos touch pad.
There’s still a lot of work work to be done, including getting the camera up and running, as well as enabling the GPS receiver. Still, it’s a very cool project that puts the power of a proper desktop interface into a tablet with enough horsepower to get something useful done.
If you’d like to get this running on your Galaxy Note, [exception13] has a download avaiableover on Google Code (https://code.google.com/p/opensgn/). There’s also a video [exception13] put together demoing all the cool stuff his Note can do, you can check that out after the break.
