The Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview was announced earlier this week, and now the software package is available for tech-savvy consumers to install on their Nexus devices. The current build will work on the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10.

Before you jump right in and flash your Android device, take heed of Canonical’s description of the software which says this is a “very new and unfinished version of Ubuntu.” Take it from someone who has done this before — don’t install beta software on your mission critical device unless you are willing to miss the occasional email.

All the instructions for installing the software can be found on the Ubuntu Wiki using the link below.
