Recommendations for Android wifi tablet?

[Walter Dnes]

  Thanks for all the replies.  One reason I wanted real USB (real SD
nice but not necessary) is that once you have USB, you have access to
all peripherals.  E.g. keyboard+mouse (on a tablet!), SD reader, USB
key, harddrive, etc, etc.  I've got a small 1-to-4 USB port-multiplier,
so multiple devices can be hung off it simultaneously, if need be.

  Stupid newbie question alert... how close is Android to linux?  I.e.
can I download a tarball, uncompress it, and...

./configure --with-various-options && make && make install

  From reading the web, I'm somewhat leary of stuff on little-known
"app-markets".  The larger communities (e.g. Cyanaogen Mod) appear to
like the Opens Source community I'm used to, but the smaller sites can
be dodgy.
