Afaik the idea for Linux on the m96 so far hasn't gone beyond the conceptual stadium. While I'd also be interested in having Linux run natively, I think a simple chroot,e.g. with Linux deploy may be even more useful because you keep all the customizations concerning the ereader functionality and get Linux on top of that. The biggest issue with this approach is the relatively weak hardware, which makes running Linux on top of android a bit sluggish. Personally, I've also yet to find a way to access the Linux desktop that meets my needs. Particularly, character encoding is tricky of you want a non-qwerty keyboard layout, as I've mentioned elsewhere. The vnc clients I've tried so far all has problems with that. On other android devices, there's the option of running an android xserver (xsdl xserver), but every time i tried it on my t68, it used about 40%cpu just for doing nothing and was quite slow (in contrast bvnc uses about 7-13% cpu when idle).
