sorry if this seems trivial, but i don't know very much about the
android platform: is it possible to access directly the linux core,
say through a command line interface or just being able to execute
executables.
thanks

Only via the debug interface, and it's not useful in the general case.

Android uses the Linux kernel, but it is fundamentally *not Linux* ---
the userland has nothing whatsoever to do with traditional Linux's
userlands. I imagine it would be fairly easy to rebase Android on
another kernel if you were so inclined.
