Cool. Now if only there was an equivalent "goodbye-android.com" for my

AGREED. I bought an Android Tablet {Lenovo A2107A-F}
thinking I was getting something with Linux like useability.

If you get root on it, you can use it like any *nix machine. Getting root is
the hard part. I will not assist in this, because it is now illegal to root
tablets in the US that were not already pwned before Jan 1, 2013.
Can you support that broad a statement.
The unit I purchased not only did not have a sim card but
explicitly did not have the capability to have one added
later. [i.e. I explicitly do not have any carrier imposed
contractual restrictions. As to voiding a valueless warranty
... ]
For non US residents, there are instructions to be
Googled for. A popular package to install on tablets is
Clockwork Mod, or CM.
I thought I saw a reference that someone was working on a
Debian for it. Can't find reference at the moment. Will have
to Google again.
There are ways to get Ubuntu on some tablets, like the Nexus 7. A Debian port
would not surprise me.
I installed Debian on a Windows machine recently using goodbye-Microsoft. It
is out-of-date, but it works. It will allow you to partition the HD and
dual-boot Debian and Windows. Win 8 even works, but you have to run
goodbye-Microsoft in Win 7 compatibility mode.
