RE: wxPerl on Ångström Linux

Hi Johan, 

I might try it on my laptop.  

I still don't have a tablet.  I tried to buy an Ubuntu tablet from China
last year, but somehow alibaba.com (actually aliexpress.com) would not
accept my PayPal, so it never arrived.

If I get to the US this year, I'll try again, but trying to buy one here in
Brazil is just too painful for words.  

Is this distro proving popular?

How would it deal with touchscreen gestures like momentum scroll etc?

Regards

Steve

Any experiences anyone?

Background is that Ångström Linux can run on the Archos 101 tablet,
which would make it possible to run wxPerl applications on a real
tablet.

I has been brought under my attention that the Archos 101 tablet comes
with Andoid 2.2, but is also capable (supported!) to run Ångström Linux. 
I do not have the faintest idea how far the support goes.

As for my current needs, I don't need anything fancy beyond being able
to tap on the screen and have this interpeted as a mouse click.

I also found a reference to Debian running on it:

http://liliputing.com/2011/06/archos-101-hacked-to-dual-boot-debian-linux-android.html

Which in turn references 
http://www.debian-archos.com/download-debian-for-archos-gen8

Looks to be under active development by the folks on that website, and it's 
running Free Office and Firefox, so I'd say it's worth investigating.
