===Partitions===

The hard-drives on the tablets are partitioned into several pieces in order to accomedate the dual-boot setup.  The Linux Operating system is allocated 10 GB of space, Windows is given 15 GB of space, and there is an additional 10 GB FAT32 partition accessible by both operating systems. Additional space on the hard disk is left unpartitioned and can be used by the students in any way they see fit.

General Configuration

Hardware

There are three variants of the Tablet PC currently in use by the physics department, the older HP/Compaq tc1100, the HP/Compaq tc4200, and the HP/Compaq 2710p. The major differences between the three tablets are the color scheme, hard-drive size, video card, and processor.
