Slitaz Linux is another OS that is compatible with Limbo.
This is a good option if you want a light weight linux distribution with a 3.x linux kernel and have a high end Android device.

You can download the live ISO from the official website: http://www.slitaz.org

You can boot directly the live cd with Limbo:

Limbo Configuration

cpu: x86
memory: 512
net: user
nic: default
cdrom: slitaz.iso

Slitaz installation to hard disk (optional)

Install Slax on the hard disk image on your desktop using QEMU
This will be faster than doing it on your android device.
Once you are done you can copy the qcow2 image to your phone.

Create a qcow2 image on your PC:
qemu-img -f qcow2 slitaz.qcow2 10G

Run the live linux distro in qemu and attach the Sliiso
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda slitaz.qcow2 -cdrom slitaz.iso -net nic -m 512

Install Slitaz to hard disk
Click on Slitaz install and follow the steps
When done remove the iso and boot with the hard disk only
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda slitaz.qcow2 -net nic -m 512
