NookColor hacked to run Ubuntu
It’s not safe for recent or popular or deficient devices to visit some Developers' hub, they can lose their identity.

Developers at the XDA Developer Forums have managed to get Ubuntu(a desktop OS by Linux) run on the NookColor, which has gone from a boring eReader to a versatile Android tablet (yes it got Android personality some weeks ago too).

Although many sharp brains are given credit for the hack(involves the Nexus One-Ubuntu hack), but one devastatorx is the one who posted it up.

To run Ubuntu on your Nook Color, you can use the instructions here. But Do this at your own risk. Apart from the fact that doing this will void your nook Color warranty, in addition, it has been reported that the hack is not stable enough. ---------
