Maemo/Meego or whatever they're naming it today is probably the closest thing to what you're referring to. It supposedly had a very standard Linux userland although it had some binary-only packages (IIRC for the radio parts). Canonical has also been pushing Ubuntu onto the space. They have Ubuntu for Android[1] where you keep using Android on phones/tablets but then are able to tether them to a screen/keyboard and have a full Ubuntu running out of the same device and accessing the same data. They've also just demo'd Ubuntu as a real tablet OS on a Nexus 7[2].
