	Just to clarify this part to Jason: freedom here also involves having 
full access to the hardware you buy. You can install Linux in most of tablets 
out there (as long as the boot loader is not locked), but usually not all the 
tablet hardware will work because of lack of drivers for 3G modem, wifi, GPU 
(3D acceleration), HDMI, etc, which exist for Android but Android's drivers 
are not full compatible with other Linux kernels, so you cannot use their 
drivers in traditional Linux distributions like Mer, (K)Ubuntu, OpenSuse, etc. 
Most tablet OEMs do not understand open source yet and we need to convince 
them to release the source code of the device drivers they use and/or have 
developed. That is also one the reasons Vivaldi has not been shipped yet. 
Having a full free tablet is not easy.
