Running Linux On Acer's C100 Tablet PC

Posted by timothy on from the slick-looking dept.

Christopher Coulter writes submitted a link to this detailed guide to putting Debian GNU/Linux on an Acer Tablet PC. That most manufacturers aren't leaping to provide Linux support on their tablet PCs doesn't mean it isn't possible ;)

    Because the CLI is particularly well-suited to tablet PCs, you know.

    In the cnet article about the 'net fridge, they mention that soon, the Internet Fridge might be converted to Linux anyway, by the manufacturers. At which point thousands of geeks will either a) Sue them for some odd GPL violation, b) buy millions for no reason, c) complain that it's not using the right distro, or d) bitch about the fact that they have to pay for it at all. :-P (notice the smiley at the end... dont hurt me!)

    Will it be cooler or "wower" to be able to install and run WindowsXP on a PunchCard MainFrame, so you scan or bluetooth (Plug'n'Play you see?) a bunch of punch hole signals and it'll produce a nicely formatted Word document?
