i use an ASUS eee EP121 tablet which has laptop hardware and is a very |
| 2 |
pricey and hard to find tablet. However, I believe any of the ASUS eee |
| 3 |
family laptops with touch screens and their tablets like the EB121 and |
| 4 |
the Transformer can easily have Gentoo installed on them. Just check |
| 5 |
out the specs of the machines first for familiar hardware like the |
| 6 |
processor and what the person said earlier.. a USB keyboard is key. |
| 7 |
you wont get gentoo installed on it without one since the touchscreen |
| 8 |
wont work and if it comes with a bluetooth keyboard like mine did that |
| 9 |
also wont work till you compile the bluetooth and touch drivers into |
| 10 |
the kernel. |

Happy hunting my friend. |
