You should be able to build everything on your ubuntu box, but if you try to install it onto it, the installer WILL wipe the target disk. Running this on anything that's not an eeepc (or very similar hardware) is really not recommended. It's really not ready to run on desktops. If still really want to try just running it (without installing), you could peek at Chris Elford's make-live script ( http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1598) that will make a live-usbkey image. You'll most likely need a different kernel (though I guess many intel chipsets might be supported by the prebuilt) and will need the right framebuffer drivers to get anywhere past the console. Still, it's not ready for prime time, so it's not recommended unless you are serious about hacking on android for x86.
