<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Ditto on the
Asus Eee 901. I picked up a nice used one on Craigslist and put Easy
Peasy (an Ubuntu netbook distribution) on it a few weeks ago. I've
been very happy with it. Small, not that slow, decent screen and
suprisingly good battery life -- my only complaint is the keyboard, but
that's entirely due to the form factor. <br>

been looking at netbooks, and it looks like the

actually getting tolerable with the new N450

opinions re
netbooks and Linux (particularly with Ubuntu).
Any particular brands to seek out or avoid?

<pre wrap=""><!---->I'm quite happy with the ASUS 901 I picked up last year.
Keyboard could be better, but for what I want it to do (be
portable web surf and emergency light word processing) it's
just fine. It's running Ubuntu happily.
YMMV of course.
