yes... that's not $25, is it? > But... the subject of this tread is: Debian GNU/Linux > on tablet hardware.

Even if this hardware is running a Linux kernel. Such a > shame... that's usually because of GPL violations involving the bootloader. so, ye gods, let me correct the request again, ok just assume that i put "and the bootloader and the toolchain and the kitchen sink" into the request. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
