Jumping in a bit late. I have had a goal of FreeBSD on a slate/tablet
computer for roughly ten years. The comments in this thread echo my
experience. Put simply, the primary focus of FreeBSD has been as a server.
The Gnome team has worked hard to bring the OS to the desktop, with limited
success.
There are many things required before my slate concept can be realized.
o power management
o pen digitizer interface
o HWR
o pen friendly UI comparable to Newton OS
o components that support a self-made (maker) approach to the hardware
I still hold on to my goal. No telling when enough people will get
interested.
