Linux on Surface

Linux on Surface Well, my employer uses two Microsoft Surface machines. One for development and another as showcase. Our administrator recently installed the first service pack on one of those and the whole thing went down crashing and burning. Oh, well... He's a Big Boy and will solve it. No worries.

"Yes, but pointless!

I got Ubuntu on to one, but I could only get the screen to work as a standard mouse and not multi touch.

It is just a regular (but good) PC with drivers for the additional components. - everything ""special"" and ""cool"" about the surface is done through software.

Anyway, it will work, but would be one of the most expensive Linux ""home"" machines (e.g. non server) that you can buy!"

X does support multitouch, so input may work, but I dont know about the rest of the hardware.
