Run slackware on new sony?

[spaul]

I was wondering whether this might be an alternative to pdaxROM for running xfce, abiword, gimp et al. It has laptop processer so conventional linux should work assuming driver can handle the screen.

More than a pound and no thumb typing keyboard. How lame.   But the rest of it looks promising 4 linux assuming proprietary sony does not have an open software autodestruct sequence
