Several developers on the miniand.com forum have built a kernel that solves most of the problems porting linux to the A10. The have a good version running Lubuntu. I know Barry did some work with Woof to produce a puppy build, but the kernel he was using was problematic. Now that there is a better kernel, can someone help me attach the Puppy packages to it? I have played around with Woof, but am not experienced enough to produce the .img. thanks

The great thing about the Allwinner A10 chip is it's price
and the A13 is even less.

it maybe a little expensive, but it never has something wrong

The first truly available Allwinner laptop is on sale for
$140 (including shipping) from Pandawill

Height of screen is only 600 pixels!!! Puppy linux can use that
height albeit with difficulty.

I've personally been looking at all the tablets... cheaper and a usb keyboard are usually like ten bucks... but i'm worried about the touch screen... so i haven't jumped in. i don't think i have enough knowledge to get it working myself... so i'm waiting for someone to have success with one.

edit- i saw that a member has had success getting the screen to work and a keyboard but i didn't see a mention of touch screen (pm'd him but still waiting on a reply).
