Re: a Debian executable on Android



There's a list of devices here that Ubuntu Touch runs on, including
some Android emulators.  Most of them old, they seem to want you to
compile your own image and donate it back.  Apparently you can submit
a request on their mailing list.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices  I'm not a big fan of Ubuntu but
if it's the only alternative to Android I might try it someday.
