[ubuntu-uk] Installing Ubuntu on a Nexus 7

[Anton Kanishchev]

Also (other people may have pointed this out already) I believe that 12.04
on the nexus is still in the beta stage, hence there may be bugs. I think
it is possible to install a Linux distribution side by side with android.
There are a few apps on Google play that let you do that. You may want to
do that so you get the best of both worlds. Oh and I am pretty sure that
wiping android and installing Linux on it voids your warranty, unless you
back up the Android image so you can reinstall.
