Thanks to the efforts of one appropriately named Jay Freeman, it is now possible to get a version of the Debian Linux distro running on your T-Mobile G1 along side of Android.  You get the same Android phone functionality you’ve always had, but you can also install and run normal Linux compatible applications on the new Debian system.

The process is not for the faint of heart, and Jay has little faith that this will be possible for long, but it is still wickedly cool none the less.  Check out Jay’s very detailed instructions on getting Debian loaded into your own G1 here.
