Ask Slashdot: Best Tablet For Running a Real GNU/Linux Distribution?

bmsleight writes "Android is nice, but I do not want to pay to print or be beholden to the cloud to do everything or chroot. I just want a tablet that can run a MythTv-client, OpenOffice.org and good old apt-get instead of an app market. I have a Joggler — which costs £60 — I'd like something similar but with a battery, a bigger screen, and other modern tablet features. So, what's the best tablet for running a real GNU/Linux distribution (ideally Debian)? Bonus points for the best apt-get-able distribution that works with a tablet."

I want to haul large cargo containers and other such extremely heavy and large items, and I want to use a small hybrid or similar vehicle to do it instead of a semi. I heard there are some people who have hacked their Prius into a tractor trailer. What do you recommend?

If you want a tablet then buy a tablet. the simple fact is without a keyboard it is useless for 99% of standard linux software you are much better off buying a netbook. that way you can use the command line to reconfigure X.org every time you turn the screen 90 degrees.

yes I know there are supposed to be automatic settings and stuff. but they never work. therefore either get an android device which has those bugs sorted out, or get a netbook and not deal with them.
