My goal is to use the phone as a server (a fancy RPi, yes). My current system is running on an old laptop and I was wondering if I could replace that with a Nexus (as it also runs Ubuntu). To my surprise it does a great job, sticked to the wall it makes a very (scratched, but) very cool thermostat. The only thing is, should the device reboot for whatever reason, someone must start apps and services manually.
