[kwlug-disc] Linux on the Astro Slide 5G phone

[Doug Moen]

That's the most expensive model. The Gemini is cheaper with lower specs.
* with 4G, CAD $690.27 -- https://store.planetcom.co.uk/products/gemini-pda-1
* wifi only, CAD $569.17
Being older, the Gemini already supports Debian and Kali, and is in stock for immediate shipping. The Astro Slide is pre-order only.
