Fsck! Fsck!! and Tripple Fsck!!!


Canonical should stop talking and start selling!!!!!!!!!!!


The full ARM hf 12.04 distros are working on Cubieboard A10 and A20 CPUs with 3D acceleration eons ago, so what exactly is the problem bringing out dirt cheap $100 Ubuntu tablets?


Pengpods have come and gone with fully functional Linaro Ubuntu distro a long time ago.


Canonical should just go out there, call on hardware vendors to start selling Ubuntu on tablets and the world will fall at their feet. If they want money for it, just ask! $10 per tablet sold is like peanuts if Canonical would jump in with their excellent support.


This is the model that Valve followed with their Steam distro, and now they got 14 vendors releasing kit at CES already in under a year. With gaming price tags from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars with extreme graphics supercomputing power.
