Question: I am planning to buy a netvertible (tablet netbook hybrid) and install Ubuntu 11.04 on it, probably as a dual boot with the shipped OS.

The Asus transformer which was just released looks really nice. Is it possible to install Ubuntu on it? If so, what works (out of the box or through work-arounds), what doesn't?

Answer: 
**Native Ubuntu:**

If native ubuntu works on your Asus Transformer depends on your model, as the transformer needs to be rootable with the nflash method. To find out check your serial number (next to the cable port)

* If your serial number B4O-B6O, it will work
* If your serial number is B70 it might work
* If your serial number is B8O or higher it will not work (you can root your TF101 using Razorclaw though)

full details for installation can be found at the [xda wiki](http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ASUS_Eee_Pad_Transformer/How_to_install_Ubuntu)

**VNC:**

This should work on all models, details for installation can be found in this [forum thread](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145601)
**Ubuntu on Transformer is here.**

As reported by @Uli, thanks to **XDA dev** now is possible to running Ubuntu native on Asus eee pad transformer.

[Follow this step by step guide to install Ubuntu](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163082) on micro sd card of your Transformer and boot it.

The guide is for windows, but in **Ubuntu** (and GNU/Linux in general) is more easy.
*Simply don't install driver and use flash.sh* (and restore.sh to restore boot.img to run Android) instead of flash.bat.

PS. flash.sh and bootloader related files are indicated on the official *[DEV] Native Ubuntu !!* thread indicated by @Uli).
