Hi all,
I'm looking for advise on some tablets that are likely able to run Fedora ARM. There seems to be some some interest in making a Fedora ARM for Tablets installation/rootfs. Any ideas on which devices are suitable would be much appreciated.
It would be nice if the drivers are all provided upstream, if not, that should not be a huge issue either, as long as the drivers a are open source. Hardware modifications (even breaking and bricking) in order to attach debuggers seem to trigger interest as well ;-)
I guess that OMAP tablets will be usable, but what models can be advised?
Many thanks to anyone with advise or ideas! Cheers, Niels
Hi, Genesi will have on that should be ready for Fedora out of the box in the next 30-60 days...
Best regards, Bill Buck

Personally I'm awaiting the Archos G9 devices [1] to hit (September I think) as they have dual core Omap chips but also have the following useful bits: - Option of a HDD - Proper A usb2 port - Mini HDMI port (so no need for an expensive dock) - Wifi/BT/GPS
And they look to be a reasonable price.
The Toshiba Thrive looks to be of similar specs/prices but with a NV Tegra 2 chip.

Someone about a month or so ago mentioned they got the nook color running and posted directions. IIRC They were running it off the SD card.
