I dunno… if you use Netbook Remix, you get Unity by default. I suspect, having played with Unity a little, it might be pretty cool on a tablet.

well they use a vnc server running locally on ubuntu and then the vnc viewer connected through a local port. if you know what vnc is then it will be exactly that but you will get better resolution and color as well as refresh rate because you dont have to push it over the internet connection… its all through your local bus or the connections in your phone which are for the sake of argument, infinitely fast.

I would really like to see some touch optimized linux tablet. MeeGo would be awesome, but I guess we will have to half a year or so for a polished version.

I wouldn’t call using Ubuntu geeky.

Perhaps installing it on a custom hardware like the Tab is geeky but after that, using it shouldn’t be that much difficult aside from the obvious not-too-heavily-touch-optimized nature of Ubuntu.
