Not only is running Linux on your favorite Tablet PC but many people dual boot all of the time. Others use livecd versions of Linux. Knoppix is an excellent tool for system administration when a Window's tool fails to do the job.

These directions are specific to FC3 and the TM C301XCi, but much of it should apply to different distros and models. If you haven't already, install apt. The broadcom NIC is ready to go out of the box with FC3 so you will want to plug in for a while to make life easier. I use atrpms kickstart package. Once installed as root run
# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
This step may take a while depending on your connection. You may find it helpful to install apt's gui Synaptic and some other repositories as well.
# apt-get install synaptic medley-package-config
