Here is a new image for your armv7l powered phone or tablet(any recent dual core device should work), you can get openSUSE 12.3 XFCE running on it without the need for repartition, formats, bootloader hacks or sacrificing your nicely running latest android on it. What you need is rooted device with busybox, Android VNC and terminal app installed and 4GB free space on sdcard(internal or external).
Instructions to run it are same as mentioned earlier. In addition to those you can also use LinuxonAndroid app with patched bootscript.sh. Replace /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/bootscript.sh on your device with the patched one and follow the directions shown here(last 3 images):

Hi, I’m trying to run this image on my tab 10.1 but I’m stucked with BusyBox: By default is installed on /system/bin but opensuse.sh is searching for binaries on /sbin. I don’t know what kind of risk I’ll be going thru if I install BusyBox on /sbin instead.
Another issue I’m having is related to root permissions. My tablet is happily rooted; when I run Terminal I can get # after su commmand but, with certain commands, I’m still getting “You must be root first!” messages.
Any advice would be appreciated.
try the latest scripts with path fixes, let me know if you run into anything
