A Linux tablet is a Tablet PC running a version of Linux as its operating system; currently most Tablet PCs run on Microsoft's Windows XP Tablet Edition operating system. While the majority of Tablet PC hardware is the same or similar to that of a standard IBM PC compatible computer the lack of a keyboard and mouse introduces unique design challenges. Because of this any person trying to design a version of Linux just for the Tablet PC must provide a GUI (Graphical User Interface) to enable the user to use the stylus and the screen digitizer so they can provide the input needed to manage the Installation process.
