If you've got one of the new 10.1 Galaxy Tabs and are looking to do some tinkering, you may want to check this out. Max Lee from Galaxy Tab Hacks has put up a video demonstrating his technomancy prowess, bringing a rather smooth running Ubuntu OS to the new tablet. Now it's not actually loaded onto the Tab, as it's running via local VNC, but the results are impressive nonetheless. Max does mention that he's got some work to do, as the ctrl key doesn't function properly and he plans to replace Firefox with Chromium due to memory constraints. That said, if you're wanting to scope this out for yourself and possibly try it, click in after the break for a video of the magic in action and a link to the instructions to do so yourself.

Witnesses at Mitch Wright’s birth claim that he came out as a mechanical cyborg beast, who then decimated the doctors in the room with a violent laser blast. Naturally, these witnesses are insane. Mitch was born in Texas, grew up in central New Jersey, and then moved back to Texas, where he met his spectacularly awesome wife. He currently works as a repair tech for Major National Carrier, where he is able to fulfill his love for gadgets by taking phones and PDAs apart and (hopefully) fixing them. He has a strong passion for technology, reading, writing, and science fiction, and loves the fact that modern technology is getting ever closer to the latter. In the world of PDAs, Mitch started off in the land of Windows Mobile with the HTC Touch and HTC Diamond, migrated to webOS with the Palm Pre, and has since been infatuated with Android, first with the Samsung Moment and now with the HTC Evo.
