It would probably be really fast though.

There was a project a while back to package the Hildon libraries up nicely, so that they could be installed on any ARM linux - which worked quite well on Ubuntu. So maybe not full Maemo, but Ubuntu base with Maemo UI should be quite doable.

I'm kind of confused about this whole Nexus 7 situation. Are all drivers for running GNU/Linux with GPU acceleration available for it? I.e. one can build let's say Mer/PA image and happily run it there, or there are some "underwater stones"?

I had to google for a Sinclar C5...WTF who is buying stuff like that? Unless you're planning to install a Ferrari engine.

i've tried it on android but in my opinion what qole has done 2 yrs ago is better (launching debian w/o terminal but through icon)

for true ubuntu phone, i'm waiting canonical releasing their official os (currently they have prototype on motorola atrix 2 which is very popular in youtube)
