Frequently Asked Questions

1. How to get this device ?

   We appreciate your interest, if you are a student from India
   you will get it soon. Already more than 20k devices have been
   shipped to different colleges, please don't raise any
   questions regarding availability
   

2. Can I run Unity desktop ?

   In ``Ubuntu 12.04`` builds you can actually install
   ``unity-2d-panel`` but it will be very less resposive compared to
   the custom lxde version which comes default with this device. The
   team is considering Ubuntu 12.10 because of many stability issues
   in lxde, in that case ``unity-2d`` will not be available.
   

3. Will it run from internal NAND flash ? How it will affect my stock android ?

   It may run from internal NAND flash, but for now we are
   concentrating only on sdcard version. The Linux boots directly
   from sdcard without touching any android filesystem from NAND
