Samsung to let proper Linux distros run on Galaxy smartmobes

Finally!

I for one applaud this. Granted, mobile phones as we know them are hardly the most useful hardware platforms for a full fledged Linux due to limited screen size and the lack of keyboards. However, those are the limiting factors. Add a whiteboard and video projector, bluetooth keyboard or any other set of hardware to overcome these limits and you could actually do some development work on them. Use them as portable workstation, notebook replacement and whatever. It will finally be usable as a computer, without the need to root the thing in a somewhat precarious process. Finally real power in your pocket.
