I am getting fed up with all those app stores that just sell apps, but never give the source code. I used to fix in the source code the things that annoyed me. In the case of app stores, I just get generic (and very kind) replies from authors. Apart from those replies they never improve their apps, just collect more money from people who purchased (and can't get money back if not satisfied).
I have decided to install Debian on a tablet but I need some really nice hardware first that I can use for that. I would prefer a bigger screen, but in fact if you know any tablet that will run nicely with Debian or Ubuntu please tell!

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

The ExoPC slate ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExoPC [wikipedia.org] ) is what you're after. It's an x86 tablet, with touch enable BIOS (no weird UEFI crap) that has several USB ports, an SD card slot and can be expanded too.
I got this baby for free from Intel when they ware still working on MeeGo. Now it's mainly used by my dad who installed Fedora on it and uses it as a way to conveniently read his guitar tabs and controlling his backing tracks with a custom made USB footswitch.
