You know, I just installed something called GNURoot along with Wheezy -- and I seem to have Linux -- command line, that is. It allows me to apt-get stuff, so it must be a sort of cygwin for android.

But I don't like poking and prodding a "finger OS." I'd just like my Nexus 10 to magically turn into linux box with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to be totally honest.
