                          I installed Terminal Emulator for Android hoping I could easily get root access, install apps via terminal, etc. So, thinking Android is a Linux distribution, I felt that it must have a terminal emulator (to really feel I'm using Linux), but when I tried some commands, none of them worked!

Why? What commands are used on Android?
