https://play.google.com/store/apps
block a few things (eg advert blockers).
https://f-droid.org/
is a sourced app repo I often search before google.
Others stores exist, a list here:
http://www.berklix.com/android/#stores
but all stores I looked at except f-droid were binary stores like google.

I hadnt heard of Limbo, so found:
http://sourceforge.net/directory/?q=limbo+emulator
http://sourceforge.net/projects/limbopcemulator/?source=directory
"Limbo is a PC Emulator (x86) based on QEMU. You can now run
Debian or DSL Linux on your Android device without root
* Warning! Limbo works only with a few Desktop OSes. Windows
XP and newer, Ubuntu, and all other large OS are NOT supported
due to their heavy usage of the SD card and CPU.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/limbo-emulator/?source=directory
http://sourceforge.net/projects/limbo-emulator/
Might it be a good idea to suggest to owner of Limbo to consider putting
a copy on f-droid.org ?

BSD nothing interesting

I've got some Androids I want to root & go for other roms eg cyanogenmod,

Nice to know NetBSD may be an option :-)
Do you have a page I could link to re BSD on Android hardware ?
for now I've I linked to your post on this thread:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2016/01/15/msg017631.html
