The factory engineer just tell us they have made a beta version for ubuntu in Zealz GK802.
I will go to their factory tomorrow morning,and copy the file. and show you guys a video.
It is very good news for some customers, now there is little mini pc which can run Ubuntu, zealz gk802 will be the one!
I have asked them to take some photos for me, see here:

Excellent news!!! Can’t wait for it! And good job, you are really helping ARM and LINUX communities to grow! 😉
This is indeed great news.
Running Ubuntu officially is a real differentiator among the stick-PC crowd and will be a distinct advantage when it comes to the geeks selecting a stick PC.
If you guys ever go through with an official release of this, please keep me posted as I would be VERY interested in evaluating it. Thanks.
Very cool.
Are any of the features unavailable (i.e. wifi, SD card, etc.) when running this version linux on this particular device?
bluetooth can not work in this beta version, lack the driver. we are trying to get the driver from factory.
Hi guys i did download this file on sd card but i cant open. Can help me how can i used thanks
Question:
Will it run Ubuntu through a native image, or will it emulate it through a terminal session, like Ubuntu Installer??
it runs great. i got my gk802 2 weeks ago from geekbuying and i installed ubuntu 11.10 beta1B fixed and then did the dist upgrade to 12.04.2 LTS. This device is amazing, i’m typing this post firefox 22.0 and i got xchat running and pidgin. i was just wondering if i could install arch linux arm on this.
