conkyOver at Internet Tablet Talk, user BMan has released a quick tutorial on how to install Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope onto your Nokia N810 internet tablet.  It appears to require a Linux computer for partitioning your memory card and running the install scripts.  BMan has also provided a big 155MB zip file which includes the files you’ll need.  BMan has posted a few more screenshots over at his blog.  Thanks for all the hard work, BMan!

I’m glad I haven’t sold my N810 yet!  It continues to be a great platform for hackers.  Often, projects like this are ported to the N810 first.  Remember Android?  I’m planning to try to get this running tonight.  I’ll post a video if I get it working.
