Dual-boot the Nexus 7 with Android and Ubuntu

"run a full desktop OS on a tablet, combining the best of both worlds. And now that is possible. Using the MultiROM solution, from developer Vojtěch Boček, you can install an Ubuntu ROM on a Nexus 7 and run it
alongside the standard Android installation."

Time taken: 45 minutes What you need:
Nexus 7 Android SDK from Android SDK | Android Developers
Patched kernel from [MOD][09 APR] MultiROM v10 (updated to TWRP 2.5) - xda-developers
MultiROM zip from [MOD][09 APR] MultiROM v10 (updated to TWRP 2.5) - xda-developers
Modified TWRP recovery from [MOD][09 APR] MultiROM v10 (updated to TWRP 2.5) - xda-developers
Ubuntu ROM from Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) Daily Build
 
Did this on my tablet last month. All it took was a 3.5 gb .img file download and the apps Complete Linux Installer and Android VNC. I ******* love it.
