I have had a goal of FreeBSD on a slate/tablet computer for roughly ten years. The comments in this thread echo my experience. Put simply, the primary focus of FreeBSD has been as a server. The Gnome team has worked hard to bring the OS to the desktop, with limited success. There are many things required before my slate concept can be realized. o power management o pen digitizer interface o HWR o pen friendly UI comparable to Newton OS o components that support a self-made (maker) approach to the hardware I still hold on to my goal. No telling when enough people will get interested.
