Linux vs Android browsing

---

I'd like a little feedback from those who have both a Linux distro and a ICS Android version booting on the TP as to browsing and overall "feel". Is there any signifcant difference? I've used Linux for years and so I'd be happy if I could use the apps I'm with which I'm most familiar but not if I'm going to cursing all the time about how slow everything is!

For now I'd stick with android if you mainly use your TP for browsing. In the future, after more development, that opinion may change. I should note that browsing on Linux, Ubuntu specifically, isn't a terrible experience with a couple browser extensions. The main downfalls are "pinch to zoom", and the fact that a lot of the icons are made for a cursor and otherwise difficult to tap with a finger. You'll find yourself hitting Ctrl+T and Ctrl+W a lot. However if you don't mind using 4gb for the partition, I say go for it anyway. Because hey, it's just super cool.
