Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Tablets
i use an ASUS eee EP121 tablet which has laptop hardware and is a very pricey and hard to find tablet. However, I believe any of the ASUS eee family laptops with touch screens and their tablets like the EB121 and the Transformer can easily have Gentoo installed on them. Just check out the specs of the machines first for familiar hardware like the processor and what the person said earlier.. a USB keyboard is key. you wont get gentoo installed on it without one since the touchscreen wont work and if it comes with a bluetooth keyboard like mine did that also wont work till you compile the bluetooth and touch drivers into the kernel. Happy hunting my friend. On 10/25/13, Jens Reinemuth j...@reinemuth.info wrote: Am Montag, 21.
