Re (2): Correction: Re: a Debian executable on Android



FWIIW, access to most of the Daimler car2go vehicles 
here requires their app running on android or an apple device.  
Primarily for that, I purchased an XO Tablet.  Apparently the 
fastest machine I now own.  2nd hand and under 50 US dollars.

You mean Google's paranoia; not debian user's paranoia.  =8~)

Thanks for outlining this.  I've encountered numerous odd constraints 
and convolutions in a few months of experimenting with the tablet.  
Considering this, the bochs app works amazingly well.  I wondered 
whether Linux Deploy or Complete Linux Installer would be as effective.

Could be another project.  Being a senior now, my concern is to 
finish existing projects rather than begin new ones.  Meanwhile I'll 
lobby Daimler to offer a purely HTML5 app and content myself with 
android until the picture improves.

By the way, the Spark Modular Tablet is appealing although too large for 
my purposes.  http://www.instructables.com/id/Spark-The-DIY-Modular-Tablet/
