I don't know about your specific application (ie: A car PC) but as a linux
alternative (or rather, more appropriately, an android alternative) to IPad,
how about the Infibeam Phi:

or the Eken M00[1-6] tablets:

or the Identity Tab

or any of the other android based tablets:

I know people who have bought the Eken M001 and are fairly satisfied with it as
a mutimedia/ebook/surfing ...etc device.
cheers,
