I want to install Linux on a tablet. The specs are:

  • 1.2GHz CPU
  • 1GB RAM

It just needs to run a graphical browser which will run a local django application, probably writing data to an SQLite database.

Does this sound reasonable, or is the tablet too low-specced?

Edit:

The django app will be running on the tablet too.

Edit2: The tablet I've got in mind is a Quaduro Flight-Pad Tablet PC

  • Clarify what you mean by 'local' application, I presume running on another machine?

  • 1 GHz is like saying that your TV's bezel is 3 meters by 2 meters in size. Sure, it gives us some decent assumptions--it's unlikely that you've got only a cell phone-sized screen inside that enormous bezel--but it's not enough information to say for sure. Model numbers, please!

  • I've previously run XP SP3 on a tablet with those specs and apart from a little sluggishness from time to time it was just fine.

Sounds fine to me. Try Midori, or Dillo if even that's too much for it.

    I agree, should be plenty enough to run a lightweight browser.

Chrome/Chromium will work fine. I tried running it on a netbook with 1GiB of RAM underclocked to 1GHz, and it even was not slow.
