Android OS is basically Linux.  There are s large number of servers
programs available for it, including httpd, ftpd, and sshd, just for a
couple examples.  There does seem to be some layer of Java involved, which
the NDK is supposed to help you bridge between C/C++ and the Java, but I
think that's only for the GUI stuff.  I have a lot of learning to do.

While it's not hard to let people log into it, I wouldn't advise opening it
to the public.  Droids like to swap a lot to save battery, even if plugged
in.  I just wanted to compile DGD on thr Droid because I can test new lib
changes without breaking out my laptop (which is now fixed).

I just have to figure out all the permissions stuff,  The Android security
system is almost as tough as Fort Knox.  Rooting these devices csn
sometimes involved overwhelming the internal firewall with thousands of
"gremlin" packets.  Kamikazeeeeeee!""
