Ubuntu has been doing a bit of work in the tablet arena: http://www.ubuntu.com/tablet/ I looked at Ubuntu and ArchLinux for my HP TouchPad, but ended up settling with CyanogenMod and Andriod ICS, primarily for it's use as an e-reader and light weight communications. You will likely end up going with a custom open source ROM, requiring a varying degree of complexity with setup and stability. It's too bad these content viewing devices are getting more and more locked down. -- Jeremy MountainJohnson Jeremy.MountainJohnson at gmail.com On Sun, Jan 19, 2014 at 2:55 PM, Olwe Bottorff <galanolwe at yahoo.com> wrote: > I'd like some sort of tablet/laptop hybrid like the MS Surface, only running > Linux.
