Baytrail is utter rubbish:
You may not want that Windows Bay Trail tablet after all

No one has succeeded in getting linux running completely on
any Bay Trail hardware - there are far too many driver issues.

AdamW is the stuff of legend in the linux industry,
and is due a great deal of respect.

I was answering the previous post but got interrupted:
Hmmm,
without dropping names or mentioning privy discussions,
I cannot provably demonstrate that Fedlet
and anything it represents is probably not going anywhere,
but you read what you might into that statement.

Just recognize that Fedora is driven by RedHat and
they have a very focused attention on where Fedora is headed
and any detours from that particular corporate toll road
would require permission never found inside their ecosystem.
Several someones at RedHat did apologize to me at one point:
they seemed to have problems with corporate direction.
From those discussions I do understand how difficult it is to keep the RHEL boat
moving in the direction of the bow without someone asking
for things which are far outside their foundry, so to speak.
But nevermind all that water under the bridge....

There are other things I know about tablets.

I am somewhat hopeful that there will eventually be an intel cpu
which is not yet another ATOM SoC (Chit ona Ship)
so we can get off the Android sludge-way.
They have not yet gotten the message yet but there is hope.
Doing anything with Android hardware is just plain ridiculous.
People who do that must be masochistic somehow.
This also applies to the SoC architecture
Intel keeps tossing on the market,
much like I did when feeding the pigs back on the farm:
It is a bucket - got something mushy in it,
the hogs are hungry so just tip it over the top rail
and watch them go at it !
That is the consumer device market - they almost do not care
what they get as long as the advertising is in color and on 24/7.


Give me a computer and a USB stick or a dvd drive
and I can generally find some way to install something on it,
regardless of whether it is ancient or leading edge.
That is strictly impossible with Android hardware.

To do anything with Android the first requirement is that you
have a working computer properly set up to juice the Arm
from outside, much like all the special tools needed to construct a
ship in a bottle
It is not impossible,
I just regard it as verging on being stupidly subservient
to people who could just as easily build proper bootloading
into the hardware.

for a more eloquent discussion of totally stupid Android is,
just dive into the horses mouth:

even better is this excellent explanation of why ANDROID
hardware is so blindingly stupid to work with:
http://android.stackexchange.com/que...om-a-usb-drive.

Android is not just stupid,
it is just beyond an order of magnitude more stupid.
It is the biggest reason why their is no working fremantle
ported to any working Android hardware - too much fiddling around pumping this and that into an image and retry-recompile.

but, keep in mind, Intel is not far behind with the ATOM:
