Android has everything to do with Linux; I doubt you could really run an android device with any other kernel... (except heavily patched bsd variant I suppose...)

It's a "why would I buy a steak for 20 bucks when I can get Spiced Pork And Meat for 0.98"
When you don't care what's inside, a can of SPAM is maybe just the right ting for you ;-)

Is it possible to pay more for the down payment in order to pay less later when it's time to complete the order? What happens if I put 500€ in down payment for just the board, and the project is abandonned? I know you said that backers would be refunded based on the unspent money, but would my refund be based on the 350€ amount (value for board down payment in the shop), or the 500€ amount actually paid?
When you say Debian, which version would it be? Would it be a normal desktop version? The stylus would be supported like a mouse, just like in EasyDebian? Would it be full support? I remember that not everything could work in EasyDebian.

Actually...
exactly which part of Android depends on Linux?
They could move tomorrow to a Windows NT kernel, and no one would be the wiser.
Heck, that's just what http://www.bluestacks.com/ and all the other Windows android implementations do.
Heck, that's what Alien Dalvik does! Even on iOS!
Android uses their own interfaces/HAL layer for almost anything that could be kernel-specific: audio, video, IPC, bluetooth, network, even security. It has as much to do with Linux as MS dotNET. And you can certainly trust Android does not have the best intentions for Linux at heart (rather the opposite), with even the Google ChromeOS guys having contributed more (in lines of code) to the kernel than all the Android guys combined.
I'm still surprised how little people realize that Android went to huge extents in order to abstract themselves from the kernel -- possibly so that if the need came they could move to a BSD/Apache or proprietary kernel. A need that did not come by because no one seems to care about GPL compliance either way.
(Sorry joerg_rw for the offtopic :P )

Shop is not down.
Literally just went in...
just now..
and again...
and again...
The shop is not down.
Every time thus far someone has said this..the shop actually wasn't down..
I would make a small suggestion ...
If someone is having problems with the shop..
instead of immediately "saying" .."the shop is down"...
(which does make for some small confusion and uncertainty amoungst those reading)
Please simply log back in ...
I imagine it is simply a personal connection issue...
perhaps individs are being "bumped" accidentally out of the shop due to the flood of interest..
At worst ...try to use a different browser.
Chrome works fine for me.
Firefox works fine too.
If the shop hasn't gone down yet ...
with all the traffic it's gotten...
I seriously doubt it is going to go down now...
unless David Letterman sings the neo's accolades on his very last show tonight...THEN I can see the shop going down under the weight of so many going to the shop.
So please people ...stop saying "the shop is down"
It hasn't happened yet..
It doesn't help.
