Android by Google is its own distro. Lacks X. I run a putty java app on my
Sony-Ericson to get onto by Debian box all the time. No X, text only. (Remote
X-clients can be toooo sloooow for most purposes anyway.)

The slackware (ugh) based deli-linux might be ideal for an embedded system
since it runs in very little memory but runs X. Difficult to upgrade, however.

Various other's take up less space but need more resources to run. Debian is
on the large side.
