Dual-Booting PengPod Tablet Can Run Linux/Android

Posted by timothy on from the first-in-relation-to-what dept.

New submitter garbagechuteflyboy writes "The PengPod is the first dual-booting tablet; It's able to run both Linux and Android. Pengpod is now running the latest Plasma Active which gives this powerful Linux tablet features that were previously only available to iPad and Android tablets. PengPod is currently selling pre-orders on Indiegogo." garbagechuteflyboy adds links to articles about the dual-OS tablet at liliputing, at Ars Technica, and at PCWorld. "First dual-booting tablet" seems like a hard claim to back, but it's nice to see a tablet marketed with Plasma Active in mind.

    Dual boots linux and ... well ... linux.

  2. you mean GNU and Android by davydagger · · Score: 5, Insightful

    because both of them use linux as the kernel. So in this case it would be not just appriopriate, but important to seperate between GNU/Linux and Android/Linux.

    This tablet runs GNU/Linux AND Android/Linux.

    What will really impress me is if you can get a hybrid userland where you can run GNU on android.
