Impressive work on the rooting procedure, but... >For the TL;DR crowd: I wanted to run a Debian chroot in my tablet; I'm sad that there aren't more people looking to run a mainline kernel + Linux distro on their tablets. It's definitely possible but a lot more difficult.

Not quite the same, but this guy describes a way to install Debian as the main OS (but using the kernel from the original firmware) and then running the Android system as a chroot within Debian: http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian

  That is fantastic, thank you. It'd be interesting to see something like MaruOS [1] implemented that way. [1] maruos.com
