Hello Arian Sanusi, Am 2011-02-19 17:35:30, hacktest Du folgendes herunter: > Hi all, > > I am thinking of getting some noname Android tablet and combining it > with the keyboard of a defunct Psion 5. > I'd rather have some GNU/Linux running on it instead of Android. The Hahaha -- Do you have already tried to get Linux on an of the TablePC? Most of them are locked and you can not install other things as the manufacturer has done... Now I have a "Samsung Galaxy Tab" and tried to hack the bootloader... ...because I like to have Debian/ARM + smartphonetools installed! Also I need the TabletPC as maintenace computer which "Android 2.1" is definitively not... > question is: what distribution? > I am aware of the Debian ARM-Port, however I guess I'd like to build > packages with some configure-time options disabled and tweaked > compiler optimization. [ ] I know what porting mean! You have to find out, HOW the Hardware is working and maybe you have to code some new Kernel modules! Good luck! Note: I am not only IT but also Electronic Engineer and develop a TabletPC (based on a Marvel Armada 300) which work with Debian/ARM and believe it I know, what I am talking about With all the nice SmartPhones and Tabet devices you get the hell on the ass because no manufacturer will tell you how it works. REALY -- Believe it! > So reading "How to start a Debian Pure Blend" I am wondering wether > Blends are the right thing for such a project. You can use Debian Bend, IF you have gotten your TabletPC running with Debian/ARM, build a Meta/Config Package and let others install Debian more easier then your have done it before. > So what I think I want is: Infrastructure that makes modifying a > Linux distribution and its packages easy, compiling them on some > x86-hardware then installing it on the Tablet.

What do you mean? I have even Multi-Touch (10-Touch) on my Debian/Lenny i386 and arm... There are enough controllers with Linux-Support, even if I have coded my controller based on VERY NEW Maxim chips from scratch > If there were up-to-date > pocketables they would live between these two categories. > So what do you think about this? Other Alternatives? If you are not one of the Overgeeks simply forget it!
