   You'll have to mention the actual model at some point to get a   
   useful answer.

   I looked into the same thing once and was rather shocked at how   
   little work had been done on this. As with many Android tablets it   
   looks like there are tricks for installing the Linux _kernel_ (at   
   least for the early models), but nobody seems to want to write the   
   drivers for free. It's probably not much fun booting the kernel but   
   not having a driver for the touch input, USB, WiFi, or maybe even   
   a graphical display. After all many Linux drivers on PC are written   
   by the hardware manufacturers these days, Apple's not going to do   
   that.
