[ale] Android to Linux

[JD]

I did this (distro running under Android) about 6 months ago.  The keyboard and
mouse support was so bad it didn't work on my setup in a usable fashion at all.
That is a 10" tablet with a USB keyboard and bluetooth mouse.
I stopped taking the tablet on travel and returned to taking a netbook.

I was running backtrack5.

Basically, we run a Linux distro inside chroot under a root'ed android, then
start up the VNC server inside the distro and connect to the GUI using an
Android VNC client.  It is complicated, but I've seen it working well enough for
some people, just not for my tablet setup.

Maybe it is better now? It certainly sounds easier to setup.
