[nSLUG] Linux on Android devices

[Dop Ganger]

There's also a native, opkg based implementation of several useful 
commands at http://dan.drown.org/android/ - unfortunately unmaintained due 
to changes in Lollipop. No chroot is needed so you can run things like 
mosh or ssh direct from a terminal window.

Cheers... Dop.
