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