Hi The issue is with most tablets, it is possible to get linux on them however you will always have one part of the device not working such as the touch screen or the display. If you manage to get Linux to work, you may find the product has been discontinued. I am selling the viewtouch hospitality solution, and for table service I looking for a tablet that is able to run Xwindows. The viewtouch sends the screen directly to the Xserver on the tablet being used. At the moment the solution I offer to clients is the old Nexus7 (old version) which Linux images being widely available, however for the long term it is find a long term solution as I do not want to end of chopping and changing hardware every few months. For example the pengpad project has already discontinued their models just after a few months of being on the market.
