I'm in the market for a netbook computer - you know, a low-cost, ultra-portable laptop. I want to use it as an on-the-go development computer (more for editing code, with the capability to compile, maybe slowly)

One possibility is to get an android "chromebook".

Does fpc 2.6 + lazarus work on android?

Another possibility is an OLPC XO.

Thoughts?

I was disappointed to discover that microsoft more or less killed the linux netbook market. I would really prefer to get a netbook with some sort of linux pre-installed, but I'd consider deleting windows and installing linux. As you can see I'm also considering running an android OS. But my first choice would be to get something I can install debian on.

Thanks!
~David

Ubuntu is building Arm editions. Have you explored the possibility of Ubuntu on any repurposed device like Samsung?

No currently, though it's not impossible theoritically. At least somebody has compiled the compiler and some rtl units and provide it in the form of PascalGUI (find in market).

Yeah, I could do ubuntu. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks also to leledumbo for that clarification - sounds like I cannot rely on android at this time to be my working OS
