Ok, here is where I am at. I am a long time linux user, not afraid to get my hands dirty. I have verizon as my cell carrier and am due for a new phone. I have an old plan which gives me unlimited data, so I am looking at on my new phone being able to install a linux OS, and then mount via fuse an ssh share where I have all my music and media stored on my file server at home. i.e. I have created my own cloud via ssh mounting of a directory.
What I am looking for is a good recommendation as to what phone to get so that I can:
1) Install linux on it.
2) Have it still work as a phone. (Make phone calls, data plan works just fine over verizon's 3G/4G network, etc...)
3) Install fuse and mount my ssh drive so that I can stream my music wherever I want.
I am not afraid of diving under the hood and figuring this stuff out. This is going to be my first android, and I was wondering if I could get some good recommendations on the phone itself. i.e. I'm assuming some models are easier to work with then others.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
