+1. You can even get netbooks with Linux pre-installed, just ask for it. I got a Acer AOD250 for nearly 2k less than the one with a similar configuration with Win7 (I think it only had multi-touch pad extra). Most dealers these days are perfectly aware of Linux as an alternative OS. Acer usually comes with a hobbled distro called Linpus, just get rid of it and install your preferred one. Vamsee. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
