[gentoo-user] Linux friendly tablets?

Hello everyone.
I am going to buy a mid range (under 250$) tablet.
It will be an android based, but I want to buy something that I will be
able to boot linux natively on it and see what happens when all that java
crap is eradicated!
It will be great if all of the drivers are freely available.
Personally I think about the Nexus7.
I will be grateful if you have any suggestions.
Thanks.

A friend of mine uses tablets with Intel processors (I think Dell tabs) for
this purpose.

search for your new tablet:

Thanks but I will be more happier with the ARM bases devices.
Besides I think intel based devices are generally more expensive.
