Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

So far, I am pleased with the tablet. It is a great platform for reading and there is a version of FBreader which works well. I have had some adjustment issues though. I downloaded about three different browsers because I wanted to be able to stream internet radio. Each time I tried to minimize the browser, it closed it and shut down the stream. I am beginning to understand the "there's an ap. for that" concept that these devices use and found an application which will continue to play streaming audio while I am reading.

I don't have one and don't plan to get one. I use desktops and laptops.
They are wireless, don't plan to use that either. Possibly a paid up cel phone for emergencies.

My wife wants a tablet. She does not care if it is android, apple, or windows.

She won't touch the Puppy USB I made her for her compaq Laptop. Though when Windows7 breaks. "Honey can you look at this". So the USB gets used then.

I'll probably break down and buy her one.Trouble is my druthers are too high for what I will fork money out for on a Tablet.

After seeing that. I won't settle for anything less. Linux compatible. Good battery life. Lots and Lots of features.

When I save up the bucks. I'll get her one. Then she can give me back the
M&A Companion PC I bought her earlier.
Edit: Shot that idea to hell. Guess I gotta look someplace else

My EEEPCs and Acer Aspire ZG5 which run Linux fit my vest pocket on my motorcycle vest when riding scooters. Connects to free wifi hotspots just fine. I like Netbooks except for the teeny weeny keyboards (I can imagine my huge hands and fingers trying to navigate a touchscreen tablet). I can barely type as it is.

Voice recognition Puppy Linux OS. From Install to Desktop is the only way I'll be able to handle a tablet. From terminal commands to browsing. I know that tablets are the future and that they are big overseas and in big Cities in the USA and also with the younger generation.

I sure wonder though about all this snagging peoples wireless phone connections though using tablets and tablet phones. Seems to be a easy thing to do. As well as govt. tracking of satellite wireless phone connections. Creepy.
