You need a large-enough ext3fs partition created with Meta-Doctor mounted at /media/ext3fs. Note that the latest optware bootstrap package will also use this if it exists. If you have not already done so you should setup the ext3fs partition to mount at bootup. Instructions can be found on the Meta Doctor page.

Make sure you have the WebOS Internals Testing Feeds enabled.

Using Preware, install Xecutah and Ubuntu 11.04 Chroot.

Hit the relevant buttons on Xecutah to run the XServer and the Ubuntu 11.04 Chroot.

Use "apt-get install" to install whatever apps you like from Ubuntu. They run in the Ubuntu chroot and render on the XServer.

Don't forget the donation link on the Main Page, and please install the Preware Homebrew Documentation app from the official app catalog to learn how to install Preware on your device.
