Hi,
I'm using a MSI Wind U100, and so far I'm happy with it.
Everything works (wireless, bluetooth etc.), except for the built-in
webcam (or maybe that's just me... any hints are welcome).
The Aspire One has an Atheros wireless cards; afaik there were problems
with this driver - I don't know if it works reliable yet.
Apart from the hardware compatibility I would also look at the keyboard
size - some (a lot?) of the netbooks have very small keys and it's
really a hassle to type on them.
Robert

Hey Misc,
I'm running -current on a first gen Asus eeePC (701 series). It has
the small 4GB drive, so I use an additional 4GB USB flash drive
mounted as /usr in order to have room to do stuff. Works OK, just
wondering if anyone else runs OpenBSD like this on these laptops. The
new disk setup sizing algorithm doesn't work well on these small
drives so I lay them out manually, but other than that, everything
works OK (except the built-in wireless). I'm considering an Acer
Aspire One as an upgrade to the old eeePC, can anyone recommend those?
