Linux Friendly Netbook?

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi Amichai,

All the netbooks that are in the market today will work with any
modern Linux distribution (Ubuntu 8.X, 9.X, OpenSuSE 10.X and up,
Fedora 9 and above, RHEL 5 and above, Debian Lenny, etc) since those
netbooks all use the same Intel crappy chipset which has Linux support
for few years now.
Many of the netbooks do not include Bluetooth, so you might to check
the specs, but the bluetooth is supported on the newer Linux
distributions.

NVidia's latest chipset for nettops (and soon probably some netbooks)
- the ION is supporting Linux, although the fancy stuff (HDMI, 3D
graphics) will require a binary only driver.

Good Luck,
Hetz
