Please feel free to use this thread to ask questions that dont belong in the development forum. To be 100% clear i

didn't

develop anything in this thread, please give those who did your thanks

(The methods under "SBK1" and "SBK2" are a bit outdated ive left them there for the sake of completion, I recommend using a method under "Both")

SBK1

OLiFE (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1191141)

Download OLiFE prime (http://lilstevie.geek.nz/ports/OLiFE-Prime-Edition.tar.gz) Mirror*

Extract it anywhere

Put your TF101 in APX mode (Holding vol down, up and power at boot)

Open the extracted OLiFE file and right click the "OLiFE.sh" file Properties/ Permissions then tick "allow executing file as a program"

Double click "OLiFE.sh" then run in terminal, follow instructions til you get to menu, choose flash, dualboot, Android (Then double check your in apx and Linux has detected it)

Press any key

It should start uploading the files (Will take about 30-60 minutes).

The modified version can just be substituted for the OLiFE method for sbk1 devices.

Tubuntu <---- Recommended (Newest/ based on Franks tools)

With Tubuntu you can install on both SBK1 and SBK2 devices from windows.

Mount-Loop (note: Seems to have issues with B60 devices)

Personally this is the most exciting method as it doesn't require a computer at all! You can just download one of the various ubuntu images, place it in /sdcard and flash a mount-loop.zip from recovery and after a reboot your running ubuntu! and if you want back to android all you have to do is flash an android kernel that's compatible with the android rom you were using.

I can't comment on it any further though as i seem to be the only one it doesn't work for lol but id love to hear your experience with this one.

Net-Installer (This isn't a method to set your tf101 up for ubuntu, its for the actual ubuntu install, use of the above methods to get it on your tf101.)

The Net-Installer is very cool, its basically just a core (no pre-installed gui) ubuntu image, with a set-up script that allows you to easily customize your ubuntu install (Different desktop environments, automates kernel, driver, multi-touch gestures installation). Since its an image rather than an installation method you can replace any of the ubuntu.imgs with this.

Download the Net-Installer (http://xdafileserver.nl/linux-net-installer/)

Rename to "ubuntu.img"

replace the ubuntu.img in the previous install methods

You can boot into Ubuntu by holding volume down and power at the same time (same as booting into recovery)

Then go through the install process as usual.
