Optware-ng is a Optware fork that uses modern toolchain and boasts to be (nearly) firmware-independent. I686 and hardfloat ARMv7 feeds were tested to run on android devices. Of course, since Optware(-ng) originally targets Linux devices, not all packages work, while some others require additional tweaking. But most packages do work fine, e.g., have you ever wanted to turn your android box into torrent leech/seed box? No good Play Store options to achieve that (of which I'm aware of). With Optware-ng, I have personally tested transmission to work fine, and there're also other torrent clients that may work too. Now, what about using your tablet as a DLNA server? You could use minidlna. There's also pyload and plenty of other useful apps.
To make installing Optware-ng simple, I've made these CWM flashables:
Optware-ng-armv7-binaries[CWM].zip
Optware-ng-Intel-binaries[CWM].zip
Optware-ng-init-script[CWM].zip
To install Optware-ng, simply flash Optware-ng-<YOUR-ARCH>-binaries[CWM].zip and then Optware-ng-init-script[CWM].zip. The first archive installs Optware-ng binaries to /data/Optware-ng, and the second installs initialization script in /system/etc/init.d and also creates /system/etc/passwd. After flashing, reboot your device, and it should become accessible via SSH with following credentials:
login: root
password: password
port: 2222
Needless to say that init.d support is required for this to work.
Please test and report back:cowboy:
