Not unless someone ports it for Android. Keep in mind, Android is **NOT** Linux. It only uses it's kernal

This is the way to go.

What it bitchx written in, mostly C? The android app framework uses java, it would take a complete rewrite. Can't really be called a port.

Oh nothing to be sorry about, you show that you have a better grasp of the architecture of Android OS than 90% here by distinguishing between an OS and a Kernel.

Common misconception. There is no "linux" out side of the Linux kernel. The most basic form of OS that runs ontop of the Linux kernel is all of the GNU software. That you would call GNU/Linux OS if you wanted too.

Of course the major distributions kind of perpetuate the misconception... meh.

I am using connectbot to connect to shell that is running BitchX. It works well but drains a bit of battery. Come hang out in #android on irc.efnet.net
