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

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."

Of course, there are lots of Linux users who might say that Ubuntu doesn't run well on any platform. ;-D
