Re: Want to buy/get/configure a Linux (*_not_* Android)! tablet.

I did a successful ubuntu install on an Asus T102HA convertible tablet
using the linuxium.com isorespin.sh script.  Camera and fingerprint
sensors do not work.  Sound works through built in speakers but not
through headphone port.  I use an external usb soundcard if I want
headphones.

It's a super, little, ultra-portable machine giving me a proper linux
workstation.
