But, you bring up an important point on it's use on a tablet; how does one get input? I have only given it a little thought and found keyboards that work with tablets. So the possibility is there to run a Linux OS without the Android overlay. I am an armchair Linux user, with a PI and a Atom unit so far, so I will be following any development on this. One company is trying to produce a commercial tablet with all open source software, but they hit snags. I think it was called the Spark and became the Vivaldi. The last I read, they were trying again and I am still on their waiting list. Scott -- Scott D. Henning Architectural Audio Design PO Box 1372 Durango, Colorado 81302
