Linux Friendly Netbook?

It has been supported with the "intel" driver since Xorg 6.8.1 and
with kernel 2.6.22. it's 3D capabilities are very lame and it's
performance are pretty slow compared to any dedicated graphics
solution. It used to have some binary only stuff to support HDCP and
Macrovision crap, but it has been removed since the days of Fedora 7
(xine/mplayer/vlc don't support any of this stuff anyway).

You can see it's performancer here:
