[vox-tech] ExoPC Tablet accelerometer rotation

[T. Mark]

Not commenting from a place of certain knowledge, but just as ideas--  Fedora 
is of course Red Hat's bleeding-edge offering, though it's a bit confusing to 
go from Debian-based to that world..  I'd say try Arch, which features a 
really great level of support in the forums.  When I do searches for my 
obscure distro, I often end up using info found on the Arch messageboard. 
 (Was just noticing an article in Linux Voice which looked at all distros and 
determined Arch the Most Recommended, actually.)  Another fully-developed one 
to try is Mageia.
Warm regards,  Mark (now with changed email--  forgot to login @hush.com for 
3 weeks so they demanded $48.something to let me at my email.  If y'all sent 
anything, re-send here..)-- https://twitter.com/linuxusergroup/likes
