==Linux installation guide==
'''<span style="color: #ff0000;">PLEASE DON'T USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE LINUX BETA PROGRAM</span>'''
The first step to install Linux on your Cosmo is to make sure you are running the latest Android firmware, currently v19. You can check the Android version by tapping Settings -> System -> Advanced -> About Phone and scrolling to the end of the page as in the following screenshot.
Using this method you will be able to install a custom OS such as Linux on your device without the need for a laptop or a desktop computer. All you need to do is to download the installer in a micro SD card and use the recovery mode to start the installation.

* The password for the 'gemini' user is 'gemini'
* The default keyboard layout is English. To configure a different keyboard layout, make sure you have updated your Linux distribution:
*# <s>Remove _apt user from /etc/passwd (see point below in known issues)</s>(Not needed anymore)<s><br /></s>
*# become root by typing 'sudo bash' followed by the 'gemini' password
*# type 'apt-get update'

* English keyboard layout is supported out of the box. Additional keyboard layouts are also present, but some keys might not work. You can fix this by updating your system. To update your Linux:
*# <s>Remove _apt user from /etc/passwd as in the previous point</s> (this is not needed anymore)
*# become root by typing 'sudo bash' followed by the 'gemini' password
*# type 'apt-get update'
