i prefer the reverse. android on linux:<a class="user" href="http://koolu.com/">http://koolu.com/</a>linux is much more developed than android, which will take the place java always does when it insists everyone use java and only java: a sideshow.
I wasn't trying to give them an excuse or whatever. I was just trying to point out the hypocrisy on SpeedSteamBoat and most of the Linux worshippers so people can at least speak their opinions on Linux/Windows/OSX without being called whiners or nitpickers...
Android on a NetBook? I don't see the upside. It's far easier to run a custom distro for the low power environment. As for co-Linux on Android smartphones, consider this: "who writes a novel on a smartphone?"
WTF do you need that on a laptop? Mobile smart phones and laptops are starting to get more and more similar in case you haven't noticed, and soon mobile devices people carry in their pocket will be replacements once the interface issues are overcome. Think ahead, not behind.
Yes, I think the "light" end of the netbook scale fits well with the original idea too.No need to go all "That's what we're discussing here" :D

It's using the Skia Graphics Library, and direct framebuffer access.
