The BlackBerry smartphone is so smart that you can install any operating system on it fairly easily. One way to do this is to install the operating system of your choice, for example, Linux, onto a Micro SD card and then use the card to install the data onto your BlackBerry. You will need the help of a program that will allow you to create a bootable drive for your SD card, such as UNetbootin.
Step 1
Download a program such as UNetbootin or Pendrivelinux, that will allow you to create a bootable live USB drive for Linux.
