Tablet with Debian Linux ?

Hi ,
i want to buy a tablet with LINUX DEBIAN.
Sparky is possible too.
Have heared about Ubuntu Touch and a tablet with a real keyboard to switch from touch to normal keyboard.
Does anyone know something ?

Hi,

There are not that many around with Debian pre-installed, but if you feel up to it you can install Debian yourself there is a Debian Mobile Wiki where you may be able get some information and pointers.

There is also this device from Planet Gemini which is really a PDA - bu may fit your requirements.

yeah Gemini PDA , that is the future of mobile devices.

You can program a little Linux application without tons of libraries very fast on your Desktop Linux OS and then run it on the gemini PDA.
Have a real keyboard and option of multiboot different systems.
For myself i only boot linux. he he

Program in android is useless and cumbersome when you can program like a old style hacker. he he
Plus running real Linux Applications on the device.

I will buy that damn good thing.

Hi,

Just for reference, the Gemini is one of the few devices out there with an unlocked bootloader and will allow you to replace the Android OS with Debian.

There are not many other devices that will easilly allow you to replace the OS with one of your choosing. It may be that you can just buy a Nexus 10 and live with Ubuntu.
