As the Android kernel code is now gone from the Linux kernel, as of the 2.6.33 kernel release, I’m starting to get a lot of questions about what happened, and what to do next with regards to Android.

It worked wonderfully for me, and as a user, I was more than happy. I’m also very happy about Android from a technical perspective. It’s amazing that Google has taken the Linux kernel, and nothing else from a “traditional” Linux system, and created a portable and robust phone platform. It’s so different that you can drop in a “real” Linux system image on top of the Android system, and they both work just fine with no changes needed.
