SV: run linux on a android tablet

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I have not been able to try it yet, but I am told that Termux, available 
on Google Play, might offer a way to install Fenrir for example. I know 
of at least two persons who are looking for someone who might have the 
technical know-how to port Speeech-Dispatcher to this environment.

It might be a good option, since it does not require rooting the Android 
device.
