Linux On Your Tablet PC

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stepping-in-the-right-direction dept.

tyman writes "Michael Rolig has created a Debian-based linux package for your Tablet PC. The support for various tablet features is limited by the features on the tablet Rolig owns, such as the "half-working" pen button features. One important missing feature is the screen-swivel buttons common with most tablets. However this is a good start for the development of linux for Tablet PCs."

    Well, can you write "make" with a stylus?

    I'd be more worried about sending things like ctrl-c to programs. Or worse, using emacs.

    I never really saw any reason to own a Tablet PC, what does it have over a labtop?

    It's kind of harder to haul test tubes, microscopes, petri dishes and centrifuges?
