Look for Complete Linux Installer in the market. I used it to get ubuntu running on my ns4g and kindle fire. I showed it to my linux professor last year and he was amazed. I don't see any reason why it won't work on our gs3's, I should try it again myself. Really simple to do actually as all the instructions are there for you.

Isn't running Linux on your phone just using a VNC-like server to a computer, running Linux?

Well you do use a vnc server but that's only so you can see the interface. It's all running on your phone independent of anything else.

What is special about ubunt.
Would Ubuntu completely replace the Android OS or can you dual-boot it so that you can run Ubuntu while docked via MHL onto a monitor or laptop? When I say dual-boot, I'm referring to something like this:

Alright guys, so I bought a Wildfire S for Virgin Mobile USA today. I love the phone most things considered, though I'm really looking to get rid of Sense and debloat. I know there are a ton of different Wildfire S around the world, so I didn't know if rooting and flashing tons is the same all around. Anyone care to guide me along or at least help start me off? Thanks guys.

Yes, their newest Windows Phone is essentially a GS3 made to run Windows Phone 8...could be interesting...wonder how different the hardware is.
HTC HD2 was able to dual boot W7 with Android and I believe Ubuntu, though Ubuntu was some what or very unstable...

This was discussed in the EPIC 4G forum too, there is a valid point... Windows mobile is closed source, so making a port would be very difficult and highly unprobable due to legal stuff. Closest thing is a theme :/

"I sent him a PM. Thanks I am glad to be here. The GN2 is an amazing phone with limitless possibilities. Today I ported ubuntu touch to the Gn2 I am going to clean it up before or if I release it. It was very easy to change it over to compile for our phones, ubuntu touch is fast sometimes and slow others. As far as I can tell those issues have nothing to do with anything I changed in porting so that would make it an upstream bug. Gonna have to wait for canonical to push out a new release.

They made it far easier than actually cooking a ROM.
Using CM as a base and only adding a couple text lines is the most genius idea ever.
