Yup - works fine on ubuntu linux etc but not android as its too far removed from the linux kernel. However there are linux distros out there now that are able to run on the ARM chipsets designed for android i.e the Nexus 7.
And yes, it probably would be simpler to get a windows 7 tablet but I'd rather take the longer more complicated route
I'm unlikely to get one soon though, so just wondered if this had been done already and what the issues were.
