I don't know what you've googled

http://samengstrom.com/nxl/6968/linu...0_page.en.html Linux runs
rather well on the Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook P1510 laptop/tablet PC. Here
are some details.

http://www.xmission.com/~bmidgley/p1510/ Some of this stuff has been
compiled together for Ubuntu. That's what I'm using. - I started with
some encouraging news from Sam Engstrom and made a few breakthroughs:

Great question. I should have bookmarked it but there is a site out there
that lists tablets and linux distros that have worked (with links to how to
get it running.) I'm considering giving it a go. It turns out my 50 yo
eyes are a little questionable for the tiny screen of an eee or cloudbook.
It's tough finding that compromise between small enough to carry and big
enough to see.

Oh, for the OP... google is my friend,

It looks like the same links as Mr. Easter had.

I'm thinking it might be somewhere around 10". There are rumors of an
HP cooking.

It would be nice if it could have a gig of ram and especially nice if
you could choose between a hdd and a reasonable size flash/ssd, like 8G
and I think you need to be up to at least 95% of a fullsize keyboard.

LT's and other portables make me crazy. The only thing going for them
is their portability, and that's the real nut. It seems I could
design/build my own little 'transportable', something like the DSL^1
damnsmalllinux with an external PS. The PS could be a combo ACadapter
battery. Most of the time I'm in an airport, there's a plug available
in the waiting area, on the airplane you would go with the battery in
the bag under your feet.

The problem is having a portable monitor/screen which isn't a LT but is
small and easily setup and packable and about 10" or so and not cost
$400 instead of $100 or so. I think I would like for my keyboard to be
full size and rollable or foldable and to use a mouse not some kind of
touchpad.

Hah. I used to have no trouble with an 8 inch Kaypro screen at
55. Now I have problems with things spread all over a 19 inch
display. Avoid aging.

Yeah, all we have to do is die sooner/faster.

That idea has advantages and disadvantages. Like any equation/problem,
both sides should be considered.
