Also, a user is limited to (at most) four disks by Qemu. So (using a RAID), best case scenario is installing a system on an 8GB filesystem. *My* device does not allow integrating an add on Micro SD with the system disk. And, Limbo does not request write access on external disks.
This leaves me with only 4GB on the main system disk. So, I gotta run Slackware 11.0 w/ minimal packages from that (and, that's pretty tight- but doable). I am able to run an X Window System (TWM), Emacs, games, and most of the bells and whistles a person would expect. And (obviously), CUPS and network mounts and Samba and ssh and wget. I've even used its Apache daemon to host my website a couple times. I compiled Wine 1.39 (using Slackware 11.0's 2.6 kernel). And, I even installed Office 97 with file format converters (not that I need it, because I also compiled Abiword and Gnumeric from source). Even got sound working (by compiling Pulseaudio and piping signals to a Pulseaudio simple protocol player that is available for useless Android- but pretty choppy). Also got Rollercoaster Tycoon working in Wine (just- 'cause I could). Probably too slow for many people's liking. Limbo provides Qemu (w/ all its functionality) for Android. And- that's what the project is all about.
Definitely deserving of five stars- minus one because the developers did not think to request permissions on external filesystems. This needs to be changed for sure! It is quite limiting on most systems. Limbo is about what it is- not what it's not. What it is- is the only way to run a REAL operating system on top of Android (which is really just a completely useless piece of junk).
