I have had this running on the Sony Arc and DHD. I am upgrading to Note soon so I thought I would post it here as Im sure it will work on the Note (my main reason for doing this).

Your Ubuntu, your way

Enjoy the simplicity of Ubuntu's stylish, intuitive interface. Fast, secure and with thousands of apps to choose from, Ubuntu gives you a clean and streamlined experience that you can really make your own.

Ubuntu is brilliant. It's no wonder our users ask how all this can be free. The answer is simple.It’s open source.

Our global community is made up of thousands of people who want to help build the best open-source operating system in the world. They share their time and skills to make sure that Ubuntu keeps getting better and better. From IBM to Google, Firefox to Wikipedia – some of today's best software is based on an open-source model. Shared efforts. Shared principles. No cost.

Why carry two devices, when you could carry only one? Your next high-end smartphone has far more horsepower than you’ll need on a phone, and more than enough for a laptop. So we’ve brought Android together with Ubuntu, the world’s favourite free operating system, to give you a full productivity desktop that fits in your pocket. Android for the phone experience, Ubuntu for the desktop, all on one device, running at the same time.

So forget the office PC. Just dock your corporate phone and enjoy Ubuntu. Anywhere. One address book. One set of bookmarks. One place for your text messages and email. No more typing on a tiny screen when all you want is a keyboard and a mouse. Seamless integration of your desktop and mobile worlds. Brilliant.

Why use Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is far more than an operating system. With thousands of applications to choose from, it’s completely free and easy to use.

Ubuntu is made for sharing. Use it, modify it, improve it, share it. Anywhere, any time and with any number of people all over the world. No licence required.

Ubuntu operating systems are regularly updated and come in a new, improved, easy-to-install release every six months, so you’re always up to date.

Ubuntu comes with all the support you need and powers the most popular computers - on servers, desktops, notebooks and netbooks and Android phones.

Ubuntu comes with a ready-made community dedicated to building and promoting free systems and software. Join us.
