Root File System (RFS) is different from regular Linux.
The RFS content (/bin, /etc etc) are inthe /system partition.
FS used is YAFFS2.
Security : Process runs as a secure sandbox.
When Apps are installed, it will create a UID (Linux user ID) and the files are created by that application will bear that user and group ID. This will ensure the data security on FS.

Kaiwan : Android is not (only) linux
Its based on a linux kernel
No native windowing system
