Although,I still prefer a computer anyday over a "Tablet" I am so excited. My favorite desktop Environment KDE is coming now to the Tablet world. I may reconsider how limited, walled garden, d*mbed down tablets really are in my views. Here is one link but I'm sure one can find if they have a will on own time to more. here: http://makeplaylive.com/. Ok! and here: http://www.mobilelinuxnews.com/2012/...n-coming-soon/ The Vivaldi "Tablet"...

In preparation for an anniversary

parallel port with cups (LPT)

lsmod | grep par

"lp" should now already be displayed....
