Linux on a Kindle 2

From Slashdot comes word of a Kindle 2 that has been hacked to run Ubuntu Linux. (Here is a series of blog posts going into great detail about the hacking process.)
However, this is not the sort of simple hack that ordinary consumers are likely to want to do—it took a skilled hacker several days of tinkering, and (like many hacks) was done as a fun experiment rather than for any serious purpose. Still, it is amusing to see that e-ink screen with a Linux terminal display running on it.
