per forza :-)
nel frattempo ho trovato un tablet cinese (MID 7, basato su via8650)
per 50E ... e' un ARM e ho scaricato appena adesso una
immagine di debian ... in rete qualcuno dice di averlo provato ...
Se va non sarebbe male, un sistema ARM, un po' meno potente
della RPi, ma da tramacciarci un po'!

Nessuno ha fatto tramacci del genere?
