I thought I I would throw in my netbook story...looks like they are
all the rage!  I bought my eepc 900 here in Taiwan for about $320 at a
local computer shop.  It had windows and a 80gb drive, which I
partitioned and now boot Chinese Windows and Fedora 10.  The keyboard
is pretty tiny, really, but I felt that since I am in Taiwan, I should
buy a Taiwan brand, for kicks.

My other choice was a Acer One, but I felt it looked pretty ugly and
was more expensive.
