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?"

Linux on the Acer TravelMate C100 by bassomatic · 2003-02-16 16:15 · Score: 5, Informative

I've had pretty good sucess installing Debianon the Acer TravelMate C100. I've put up a page here. You'll find there a quick and dirty touch screen driver that I wrote. There's also the linux wacom page which hopefully be the final home for the touchscreen driver.
