Hey!
Sorry I have been asking allot of questions here, I have only just felt well enough to sort out all the other tasks that have been lying around.
So anyway, I have this old tablet PC. Specs:
256Mb Ram
900Mhz Celeron CPU.
Its a Motion M1400 from 2004.
Its a pretty nice thing. The only thing is, it runs XP. I was wondering if there are any tablet optimised Linux distros that will make the most of my touch screen.
Does any know of any?
I will probably run LXKDE on it until it gets a ram upgrade.

there is the ubuntu netbook edition.

you will still have to switch window manager and a few other point before ti is lightwheight however,

i tried it but in the end i might as well run any other linux distro made lightwheight.
