[Discuss] Running Android on a PC such as Android X86 Project

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I think you are referring to Chrome OS. In any case, Chrome OS (or
Chromium OS) is a standalone OS supported by Google. Android should be
able to run on x86 hardware either virtually or even if directly booted,
but other than the Android X86 project, I am not aware of any other
efforts. Actually, this might be a nice project for the next installfest
or a future meeting. I'd like to see a good Android port to be able to
work under a standard Linux distro.
