We load Ubuntu 12.10 onto a Nexus 7 and tell what works, what doesn’t, and where this is all heading. Is this a laptop killer? Or just a toy for us nerds? Tune in to find out!
Plus we’ve got Netflix running on Ubuntu, and we’ll show it to you, the big news of the week, your feedback…
AND SO MUCH MORE!
All this week on, The Linux Action Show!

Good battery life, despite the estimate being wrong.
