"Best" tablet pc for linux


Hi all

I don't know anything about the tablet pc market besides the Ipad is one.I'm considering buying a tablet if I can install linux on it.

For me the most important things it has to be capable of:

- 3G connection
- Wifi
- Being able to run a Citrix client
- most preferably I want a "standard" debian running on it. since I want to be free to install things I want and not some kind of "phone-OS".

What would be your advice?

Thanks a lot

My advice would be: Start reading, or start pumping intelligent searches into google.
+tablet +3g +spec sort of thing. Citrix I regard as the 'hopeless case' of servers and I wish you welol. Make sure it has loads of ram.

When you say 3G, I presume mobile. Ireland here is full of posers, but I've yet to see someone going around with a tablet held to his ear :=).
