It's horses for courses. I have an ASUS which I keep in my travel bag and use 
quite often. This runs Linux.

I also have a Galaxy SII and a Galaxy Tab which I use most as they're quicker. 
I have VPN, SSH and VNC on both my phone and my tab and use both for work. 
The phone is most convenient as I always have it on me, the Tab is just 
easier to use cos of it's size.

The ASUS is effecively a full workstation so I use that for doing serious work 
(other than just remote connectivity)

I haven't even considered putting Linux on the Tab as that to me would be a 
backword step. Android is the best platform for the Tab, Linux is the best 
platform for the ASUS. That simple really.

Yeah, I like that bit too.
