ScriptBasic by default is an embeddable scripting API using a traditional Basic like syntax. The distribution includes a console mode interpreter using C as the wrapper exposing the API's use. To demonstrate the thread aware aspect of the API, a multi-threaded HTTPD web server as a service is provided. The extension module API provides a seamless interface to common libraries like cURL, MySQL and SQLite.

AIR is a ghost that roams the SB halls. If your lucky enough to attract his attention, he may share a secrete or two with you.

The BackTrack5 (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) was too old to find supported libraries for. I started over with the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ARM image and hope to have better luck.

Does Backtrack support user input touch input from the screen?

The VNC client is providing the Android to Ubuntu mouse emulation via the touch screen. I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard that works in native mode for both Linux processes. I'm assuming the USB services (mouse, USB drives/sticks, ...) will work as well.

I'm trying to find a better way to keep a rooted Android system in sync with Samsung's auto releases. (re-imaging) I posted a message on the xda-developers forum to see what others are doing.

I have been testing Ubuntu services and Apache running local and the ssh server seem to work fine.



This is an example of connecting to the Ubuntu chroot image via ssh from my laptop. (wireless)

I was able to get the LXDE Ubuntu GUI shell going on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet.

Too bad that Ubuntu ARM isn't binary compatible with Android. (at least the 9.04 version)

Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" ARMv5 "small" image

I think I need ARMv7 to share binaries.

Un-installing this is easy. Just delete the image file.
