[General Topics] S0AndS0:
No problem, until I can get a version Watson running on our devices it seems as though humans will always beet just using google alone ;) speaking of things worth looking at (I'll edit this post if I find the links) Watson from IBM is something that may excite you, there be a free version available.

And the other thing I've run across recently by accident that may be really helpful in running as close to native Linux on your tablet (mind ya there will be tweaking required) is a web site that uses java to run a linux box in a web browser. What I be thinking is: android runs java, android when shipped to the consumer is bloated with extras to make a "friendly UI". So if we where to strip an android system down to bare-bones drivers for the hardware and software compatibility. Then make a app that uses the java linux box to run just in time process emulation for incompatible packages (software that requires a processor other than the one in your device ie: x86 or Pentium 2) in an auto detect fashion and have it also detect processor independent tasks and rout them without emulation. From there we would need a way to pipe all the results into one or two "windows" a command terminal and eventually a GUI. Likely the build would require many a moon to complete as one would have to code for recognizing dependencies and translate those commands through the two methods and then magically fold the output into something human readable.

If such a thing where possible you would end up sacrificing nothing in hardware compatibility and you could market it like 'wine' for android instead of linux, probably make a bit off donations too. Not going to argue with you on that android sucks sometimes but the benefit is that some one like me and some one like you can work together on something without knowing all the nitty gritty of hardware differences between our devices... and I don't have to mess with jar and jad files nearly as much :)

Yeah the guide link share was mostly proof of info being there. Its good we're on common goal paths. Perhaps if you want to take the dive into the cloud computing side of the guide (I know I've not done much on those sections as of late but you've shown yourself to be quick) and figure out how to set up a privite cloud computer you'll then have all the speed that you've the hardware to through at it and install what ever distro on top for actual user interaction.

Got to get to work but I made some mods and adds to the main doc. Be back latter, hopefully with networking solutions to write about :)

Its cool, you've your opinion, I've mine:

Android yes has some problems and issues with openness, and yes out of all the OS's I've worked with too it's had its ups and downs as to whether or not I like it as a whole.

That being a point of capability with our world views I'll add that android is still very much a "new kid on the block" as far as age and maturity in compared to the giants out there. Out of all the mobile OS's that I've had to hack and code on (and I've been at this since Samsung and Nokia was running simbion(sp?) on their devices and I can tell you that trying to get modem tethering on a Nokia 5300 (looks like a soapebar with slide out t9 keyboard and media controls) back in my day was something almost unheard of. With android we've some comenaloty between our devices that if it where left up to the manufactures from across the globe would not exsist otherwise
