Hi, I am looking for netbook/tablet PC. I need dual boot with Linux (any distribution, with preferably KDE) and Windows (anything from XP to 7). Pretty routine use. Under Linux - Some word processing, presentations, surfing, email and experimenting with statistical analysis - that is usually possible with spreadsheets (Gnumeric, MS Excel with statistical Analysis Tool Pack; Open Office is rather limited in this area) and R with some GUI. Use of Windows will be limited at some client place (I'm consultant in Quality Management) for Minitab, SigmaXL and Simular (Statistical Add on softwares on MS Excel).
Looking through various models, I found two options: Asus Eee PC T91MT and Lenovo S10-3T. Linux support (including wifi and touch screen) for Asus is fairly well documented while that for Lenovo is sketchy, but apparently doable. Anybody here has any experience in using Linux (including WiFi and Touch screen) on any of these netbooks? Any points that I should keep in mind before making the selection? Any peculiarities for Dual boot? Any bit of information is appreciated. Thanks Vikas Garud _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
