thanks.

i've looked at both an acer and lenovo models and like the lenovo model better.

as for linux... no way.. had too many hack experiences during the early years. that's why i made the switch to bsd. i would like to make my own port (super-port?), build a distro, and dump it onto a machine. haven't tested on virtual machine yet, but think that would be the smartest method.

thanks again.

I would like to try some experimental software on a netbook. Can somebody
recommend a netbook that can do FreeBSD.


Late to the discussion, sorry I can't give positive
advice, but:

I can explicity UNADVISE the eeee(ee?)pc 1005ha

Networking (atheros 9285, iirc) might work under
ndis, wired (I forget which chipset) doesn't work.

I put ubuntu on it, and even _that_ took some hacks.
