Part of the reason I bought this tablet, based on Linux Android, was to customize and explore it in ways other than those it was chiefly intended for. To do anything interesting with it though, you need 'root' (superuser) privileges, and the Android system it comes with gives you no way of doing this. I suppose that is to keep people from 'bricking' the unit, but it really gets in the way of experimenting.
Several blogs provide instructions for rooting the tablet, but most risk bricking the unit and I have not settled on a method yet. I need a better understanding of the way Linux has been adapted to the tablet, and what is in boot ROM before I try rooting this unit. More when I figure this out.
