Gnome, KDE, LXDE, IceWM All Working On Android

dooberrymctavish writes "Ghostwalker over at AndroidFanatic has gone and done it again; now he's released clear and concise instructions on how to get X11 server running on your Android device. Not only that, but he has successfully gotten LXDE, and IceWM running at a pace. There is even a photo with the instructions showing the LXDE desktop running right there on the device itself. Apparently, you can also VNC straight onto the phone's new desktop from your PC."

But does it run...

But what about fake uses? Like when your server farm goes down and you need to set up a network of cell phones to get your site up and running again? Did you stop to think about that?

"Because we can" the neckbearded Linux dweebs living in their mother's basement will tell you in between LARP sessions and shoving greased up Yoda dolls into their asses, while the adults are running rock-solid proprietary software on their server machines to do things which are actually important. Get the facts [getthefacts.com], people.

Whenever somebody says "server farm" I imagine some guy wearing plaid and overalls out in a barnhouse milking servers.

OK, you sold me on the lifestyle. Is there a particularly suitable Yoda doll?
