whatever you do do not go linux, almost all the llinux varoations are shit, the wifi on mine came broken out the box!
I've got to disagree with you on this one. Most of the netbooks run on pretty sub standard hardware compared to the notebooks that are available today. All of the linux versions I have seen dramatically out perform windows on these low powered units. There may be a bit of a learning curve if you are unfamiliar with linux, but the performance increase over windows is well worth the investment in learning the operating system. Almost all netbooks have very active forums dedicated to helping users get them up and running.
I have been using an Acer Aspire One for traveling the past couple of years and couldn't be happier with this netbook. Once I got a few of the kinks worked out, it has been rock solid and a total pleasure to use.
