I have had a good experience with the Acer C720. It ships coreboot and cros; jumping through a few hoops[*] let me reflash it with Debian, which Just Works. It needs a binary blob for bluetooth. Some guy (https://johnlewis.ie) compiles turnkey stock coreboot firmwares for it, they also include a 2MB live linux environment with a script to bootstrap the debian/ubuntu/fedora installers, which is cute. The showstopper for you will probably be its keyboard. They did a hardware rev bump recently with a better screen; dunno when Australia will get those. [*] IIRC I had to give cros access to the internet, AND create a google account, before I could get to the "just let me boot off USB" knobs. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
