Running Android On Netbooks
jjohn_h writes "Two guys at VentureBeat have managed to take the source code for Google's Linux-based operating system for mobile phones, Android, and compile it for an Asus netbook. Immediately, speculation began that Android will soon be running on PCs and laptops. '... we discovered that Android already has two product "policies" in its code. Product policies are operating system directions aimed at specific uses. The two policies are for 1) phones and 2) mobile internet devices.' Though some remain skeptical, I surely hope it is going to happen. Since Android does not rely on X11, but has its own framebuffer graphics, that would indeed be a cosmic shift."
A new hope
What? Someone has to change the meme sometimes.
I'd much rather have Android on my laptop then Vista.
Why on earth would you install Vista if you already had Android installed? Presumably the laptop would come with Vista, rather than the other way around, wouldn't it?
Even if you're talking about dual-booting, I've found it's always easier to install Windows first, then Linux - makes setting up your bootloader much more straightforward.
...for the children!
Why on earth would you install Vista.
There, fixed it for you.
Uh oh, better keep an eye on my bandwidth allocation. (That's my site)

can you change the resolution of your cellphone screen without changing your cell phone?
Am I the only one surprised by the fact that Linux could run on an Asus notebook? ;)
