What about casual programming? Still kind of a sore spot for tablets - if I'm wrong, please tell me why! If I could just do simple emacs/bash stuff with perl/python/javascript/html and maybe even C/C++ I'd be a lot happier buying a tablet. Not really sure if you can do this with a chromebook either, though. Can it run a modern linux distro?
- __chrismc 13y agoIt's probably not quite what you're looking for, but I've been experimenting recently with using the Prompt app from Panic on my iPad Mini to SSH to a Debian virtual machine on Joyent (I have some spare credit with them I wanted to put to use up). For me, using VIM this way works pretty well, especially when paired with a bluetooth keyboard.
- tluyben2 13y agoI run Crouton with Ubuntu Raring. Javascript/HTML/CSS dev you can even do under Chrome with some web IDE; the rest works fine under Crouton. There are just a few 'exotic' things you won't get working; for instance GHCi is broken on Raring ARM.
