For those of you who are into running alternate operating systems on your Android device, here’s a story for you. A clever developer has figured out how to run MeeGo on a Samsung Nexus S. This was accomplished by installing it on the rootfs image on the internal storage, so nothing needs to be flashed.

Also, Ubuntu has been ported to the Nexus S using the same methods. You can check out all the details by visiting the XDA thread here.

If you would like a full set of instructions, be sure to check out developer Steven Troughton-Smith’s post here. Also, continue after the break to check out a video of MeeGo running on the Nexus S.
