I know Android is Linux based, and, for background, I'm an experienced Linux user/developer, but have never checked out Android as a Linux till now, though I've heard that phones can be rooted. So my q is: what all can you do with bash on Android - as compared to bash on a desktop or server Linux? Interested to know because I have an Android phone. Do you get all or some of the Linux command-line commands like awk, sed, etc.? Do command pipelines work? Thanks for any info you can give.

I wouldn't like to run Eclipse on it, but I guess Emacs would run with ease.
