Yes, the thing is quite a work-in-progress, however I'm going to upload my image and scripts somewhere in the weekend if someone wants to experiment with my present setup.

I have to thoroughly go through Qole's scripts for Easy Debian, which are much more advanced than the stuff that's available for Android; I don't want to run as root like in all gnu-linux distros hacked onto Android devices, and I wish to find a way to run the mount & chrooting script, and the vnc client, all from the same command/icon.

In the meantime, I have upgraded my and wife's (and her brother's) Tab to Gingerbread by kies, and rooted them by flashing a tweaked kernel like described in http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...3-gingerbread/. Neither Z4root nor SuperOneClick work with this firmware release.
This also adds Clockworkmod (which couldn't be installed with Rom Manager on European Tabs) and a bunch of configurable kernel tweaks which remind me of Swappolube
