From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's the best tablet to install Linux on? I am looking for something affordable (under $200) and light just to use a PDF reader with MEGA sync.

The pine note might be a better pick if colors not important in the pdfs

I agree, but I was trying to fit their budget.

PineTab 4GB RAM / 64GB eMMC is $159 and PineNote is $399

Out of stock and Linux support is quite experimental.

PS: they both can handle PDFs, tried on mines.
