Ubuntu for Android seems to be missing in action.
I'm travelling tomorrow and I need to take a basic Linux machine with me. I'd rather just take my tablet than a laptop. So is there a reasonable simple Linux virtual machine that I can install as an Android app. and which I can ssh into with Putty from any PC I find (ideally via the USB cable)?
I'd like to be able to run at least emacs, git and rsync. And ideally Python.

Yes there is one VM called Linux-on-android. I have heard of it, few of my friends used it and they had good experience. You can find it on sourceforge.
