     @raindog I really like the samsungs like the NC10 et al. But linux compatibility is a bit hit and miss. try looking at the linux emporium.

     @raindog: ASUS Eee PC 1000HE #netbook. I have it running with #ubuntu remix and is working great!

     @ivanico Thanks. I'm looking at it now. Amazon lists the battery life at 9.5 hrs...? What's your experience?

     @raindog: with Ubuntu remix I'm getting 5 hours and a half. Although I haven't check if I can improve it. Might be (+/-) depending on usage

     @raindog Yeah, I like the ASUS Eee PC's *nix models; however, I can never find the models I want on online retailers (such as newegg).

     @raindog No suggestions for the Dell Mini, eh?

     @ivanico That's good enough for me by far. Thanks for the information.

     @xq I'm surprised by that as well. It is one of the make/models I'm actively looking at.

     @xq I'm having a tough time finding Linux versions and I really want to reward sellers/makers and not pay for XP.
