Status of Linux on the Latest Tablet PCs?

Posted by Cliff on Sunday February 16, 2003 @03:30PM 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?"

A successful and profitable Linux software company comes around that actually has a financial statement that doesn't make them look like a lemonade stand and Slashdot commenters repeatedly bash them. I don't understand it. Does Computer Science and Economics just not mix well in this crowd. Is everyone secretly against Linux being deployed?
