as we all know by now, the standard way of running Linux in a Android device is by using chroot from Android to Linux (comes in various flavours in different packages LinuxDeploy, Linux on Android and so on), however this way of running Linux (from within Android) is a pretty limited and restricted one (especially by selinux and android specific permissions), one has limited or no access to important stuff...
Android on Linux is a completely different approach, as it starts FIRST Linux (an init script to be more exactly) and from there it chroot's to Android, Android boots up, setting up your devices and so on, and at the end of the Android boot a ssh server is started on your Linux upper layer (and oh... all the power is here, Android is the slave now)
lots of advantages, no more restrictions for linux, no more per user mount points (what you mount in linux is seen by everybody), you can ssh to Linux and modify/backup as you wish your Android system, much more power from within the Linux tools arsenal and so on
keep in mind that your Android partitions (except the boot one) remains UNTOUCHED (so Android won't even know he has a Linux supervisor)
i installed Linux this way and it's awesome ... a little extra effort on setting up but it's worth the effort, and no penalty on performance!!!
one can find the steps required here: http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian and don't forget to congrat this guy for this stuff!!!
