I downloaded a version of Debian for a Stylistic 1000 tablet.
I was able to change things to run X on it. The only problem
I had was not being able to log in without a keyboard. I have
to go back and play with it one of these days to see if I can
get xvkbd to work with GDM. (I also want to get more RAM for it.)
The original image was built to turn the tablet into a firewall/
router/Access Point.

486 DX 100 CPU
16MB of RAM
350MB hard drive.
