Does anybody own a netbook? If so, what model and do have Ubuntu loaded on it? I'm looking through the hardware compatibility list and trying to find the best model.

One of the guys at work has a Asus Eee 900a, and love it (he has the default OS on it. Ebay sells them refurbed for $170. On another forum I am on (who let me know to look on ebay), they bought several of the refurbs for running displays at their church. (the informative displays out in lobby area, not for worship display.

I'd like one when i get some spare cash.

I bought an Advent 4211 a while back, pretty good very hand for call out jobs etc. I've had XP on it but would recommend Windows 7 as it is light weight and much better than Vista!
