When you think about netbook operating systems, I bet Android never comes to mind. But you know what, that versatile smartphone OS can actually be used for netbooks, and while it doesn’t work great (a lot of the applications are undoubtedly incompatible or not practical), anyone looking to have a quick spin of Android without having to buy an Android handset should pay attention here. There’s a detailed how-to for installing Android on the Asus Eee PC 701 out on the interwebs, and all that’s needed are the following:

1. A machine running Ubuntu
2. An Eee PC 701
3. A USB flash drive (the instructions don’t say how large it needs to be, but I’d think a 1GB stick would do)

Needless to say, installing Android will mop everything out from the Eee PC 701’s built-in storage. And the method detailed in the how-to doesn’t work for other Eee PC models for now. If you have some knowledge in kernel hacking, you might want to offer your help in this open-source project.
