Status of Linux on the Latest Tablet PCs?

Posted by Cliff on from the running-on-more-hardware-than-ever dept.

AmbushBug asks: "The new Tablet PCs have been out for a while now and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck running GNU/Linux on them? I've found that its running on the Pacebooks and there seems to be some success with the Compaq TC1000. Has anyone tried running it on the Motion Computing, Toshiba, Gateway, or others?"

    It runs well and does everything a tablet PC is supposed to. One small hitch: you need to have a keyboard hooked up to it.

    I've heard of a little camera pill like that, but why a PC?
