Update: Since 2006 there has been a lot more Linux news on the portal. Click here to see all linux/umpc related news items.
Well done Jtokash!
John succesfuly booted Damn Small Linux on an Tablet Kiosk Eo last night and got the gui up and running.
Unfortunately the gui didn’t scale well and a lot of hardware support was missing (USB mouse didnt work, touch didnt work) but it proves Linux boots and X runs.
Since yesterday, we’ve found a new set of links that refer to linux-on-tablet sites. (see forum)
At the moment, i’m waiting for someone to take the first screenshot and also try to run knoppix with these boot options:
knoppix nomce fb800x480 xmodule=fbdev
Its known to work on some tablets while booting from USB.
Further info in the Origamiportal linux thread and thanks to Origamiportal for the cool Linux-UMPC graphic!
