Linux PengPod tablets, mini PC now shipping

In recent years there’s been a rise in the number of PC’s coming into the market preloaded with the Linux operating system and a recent forecast from Forrester Research Inc. predicts expenditure for Linux-based computers will go up by as much as 44 per cent.

However, until last year’s announcement of the PengPod exceeding its funding goal for $49,000, there has been little new on the Linux tablet front.
