There are apparently working ports of more normal linuxes to Tegra3 platforms ( see <a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA3MjQ" rel="nofollow">this</a>) and I doubt that the Ouya people are overtly locking out alternate firmware; but by default it certainlyk won't have the utilities you'd expect of a linux system...
