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.

I personally run Debian on an HP Touchpad that I picked up in the fire sale. It's old -- the default distro on the setup is squeeze rather than wheezy, and I haven't tried a dist-upgrade. Also, the X server is fairly primitive, and won't resize for the onscreen keyboard, so if you want to use the native keyboard, you have to give up some permanent screen real estate. Alternatively, you can use a software keyboard in the Debian install. I generally just use it with an external keyboard.
Other than that, it works fairly well, and Touchpads are still pretty easy to find on ebay for reasonable prices.
