Vivaldi Tablet

[Open Slate]

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.

       tablet, tho.
