preview Dual Boot Ubuntu , a utility that will allow us to install Ubuntu on a Nexus device Touch without having to remove the Android partition. In other words, we can have both in the same terminal as Ubuntu Android Touch and switch between an operating system and another.
last October, as promised, throwing Ubuntu Ubuntu Touch 1.0 . Through this project, still experimental, Canonical opened the doors to installing Ubuntu on our smartphone and experience, thus the convergence between mobile devices and desktop PCs Ubuntu takes time modeling. With the idea of ??moving forward on this path, Canonical has just released a dual boot will allow us to switch between Ubuntu Touch and Android , using so both operating systems on our smartphone .
Considering installing Ubuntu Touch is not something extremely simple and is aimed at advanced users,. usefulness of this new dual boot also comes with a similar perspective
The idea, as we can imagine, is quite simple and poses have a similar scenario, a personal computer, more than one installed (for example, a Windows partition and the other with a Linux distribution) operating system. In this case, the user will have a couple of utilities that allow you to “mark” with which operating system you want to boot the next time the phone is restarted, ie, from Android, the user would access an application indicating that want to boot with Ubuntu and vice versa.
Canonical makes a special emphasize that this is not something “for all ages” because installation involves risks and if something goes wrong, the user should be able to restore your terminal (and do things like this invalidates the warranty). To use this utility dual boot is necessary to have a Nexus device (they are tested Ubuntu) with Android 4.2 or higher (both AOSP like CyanogenMod) and 2.7 GB of free space phone to install Ubuntu Touch. Canonical has released this recipe to install and dual boot to switch between Ubuntu and Android but, yes, to make things a bit easier, we promise to try and post the step by step guide Bitelia.
And worth installing Ubuntu on our Nexus terminal Touch Ubuntu Touch is still at a very primitive stage, is still a young man who has some way to go project. Anyway, I think that Ubuntu can be an interesting player in the segment mobility. A good bet for the “homogeneous ecosystems” but, unlike Microsoft (and Windows 8), as an alternative free software
Canonical
goal is, as we can imagine, create “critical mass” ; go cementing an ecosystem of developers, project enthusiasts, designers and, of course, users willing to test platform and contribute to the growth of it.
dual boot , no doubt, things become a bit easier because we can switch from one system to another without losing functionality; Ubuntu we can use in our work or in our leisure and, if we need to switch to Android, change system easily without having to go to two devices in your pocket.
