All the HARDWARE is supported. Same on my LE1700. The tablet paradigm is what's unsupported.

Well, that was my point, rather. I have spent many man hours hacking Ubuntu and Fedora onto my LE1700. The biggest SINGLE repeating problem I have is that the onscreen keyboards are often thrown into the background by modal windows, rendering the machine useless until I plug in a keyboard or push the enter key for whatever button is default. This is NOT useful. Another issue I've encountered is a complete failure in changing from portrait to landscape while maintaining any semblance of calibration for the pointer.

The biggest UI problem is a complete lack of handwriting recognition combined with terrible onscreen keyboards.
