[GAP Forum] GAP on ipad

[KCHM]

In the October 2014 issue of `Linux Format' there are instructions on
how to install an independent Linux distribution on an android phone,
without doing a full scale root. If this works (I haven't tried it
myself) it should mean that one can run GAP within one's own Linux 
(not the android incarnation) on the phone.
