As a new linux user, I can sum up the problem with linux in three words..
drivers, Drivers, DRIVERS!!!
Anyone wanting to help out on drivers for a Flybook V5, (touchscreen, webcam and some more) drop me a pm.
All work in windows.. -duh..
No offense, but you just paid someone to not make linux drivers. By purchasing from manufacturers that do not support linux you are supporting (with your wallet) that decision. Buy linux friendly hardware and (a) your life will be easier and (b) you will be making it more profitable for companies to support linux. Think before you buy.
