Opinions on tablets....

[Brian Cluff]

No.  While android uses a Linux kernel, it uses completely different 
apps, so if you are expecting to run any of the software that you are 
currently using on your desktop, you might want to re-think what you are 
doing and make sure you have some software that will do what you need to do.

If all you want to do is display images; vanilla android will be able to 
do that for you.
