ago I was discussing the prospects of putting together a guide for alternative operating systems other than Mac OS X and Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 which is the main stay of many developers. So the plan was to compile a guide based on findings for using your Android with Linux based operating systems such as Ubuntu.

 

The trickiest bit seems to be making your handset a permanent setting under Linux. Then using it as a disk device within the OS (mounting the drive). I like to dabble in Linux as it needs no antivirus, the firewall is part of the whole setup and it's a lot harder to screw things up by pressing the wrong button.

 

When I set up my computer again, I will be dual-booting Windows 7 with Ubuntu 14 or OpenSuse depending on what I feel like doing. Of course, there will be difficulties along the way like the different distrubtions of operating system.

 

I will be aiming this at somebody with a similar understanding as myself. So it won't be too complex and it will be comprehensive to most people. Although a basic grounding in Linux GNU terminal will be advantageous. It is mostly desktop now though.
