> Seriously? If I build my Gentoo differently it won't be Linux, because I used a different userland? You're misunderstanding. It's not criticism, but a statement of facts that the only thing Android has in common with most desktop Linux-distros is the kernel. Apart from that they share literally nothing. Tweaking your Gentoo installation still makes is a Gentoo-installation, and thus a normal GNU/Linux environment. But if you change the init-system, remove all userspace tools, lock it down so users can't have root, ditch X for something else and only run apps designed for your non-X graphical environment, with each user-facing app running as their own Linux user-account... Would you call that a "normal" Linux desktop? Probably not. And that's the point. Android isn't conventional Linux. (Which is probably why it's so successful, but that's flamebait for another discussion)
