                  @zeldatra yea ok, i think you might want to look for the Alternate installer too, the default ubuntu is x86 based, and the nook is likely ARM based

                     @unhipdruid Yeah, this is an ARM based port I'm looking at.

                        @zeldatra alrighty, if its an arm port it should work on my Pi, where are you looking at it?

                              @unhipdruid ah. I wish one day you can install windows 8 RT on an Android. It's ARM based

      @zeldatra the question here is "why?"

         Linux has Wine. Wine runs Windows programs. My copy of Flash is Windows based. If this isn't horribly dissapointing, i essentially have a Flash machine.@abigpony
