Hi Ben,<div><br></div><div>Another one to throw into the pot is the Toshiba NB200. The battery life is very good and it works well with Ubuntu. The keyboard is nice to use, much easier for my larger hands than the Asus 901 I used before it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think it's very similar spec to the one you've mentioned and I have no idea which is better, but you're welcome to have a go with mine for comparison.</div><div><br></div><div>Les<br><br>

Hi All -- (and the admins that had to approve this email)<br>
<br>
Following Wrexham LUGs meet earlier s'evening and being the only one out of<br>
the half dozen or so there that didn't have a n*book, I've decided to put my<br>
money where my boredom is.<br>
<br>
Has any one any suggestions/recommendations for a Linux-friendly netbook? I'm<br>
looking at sub-£300 and have seen a 10" MSI Wind for <£275 delivered. Has<br>
anyone had any good or bad experiences with this model? For the stats freaks,<br>
it has an Atom N270 @ 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB SATA, Intel 945GSE graphics,<br>
wired + wireless, bluetooth, webcam, card reader & a case, in the box.<br>
<br>
A couple of other points:<br>
-- I've seen the post a little while ago on LivLugList (has a ring to it!)<br>
recommending the Eee 9's, but agree the keyboards are a bit wee; I'm against<br>
Dell out of principle that their desktops are pants and, as noted at WrxLUG:<br>
Bombay.<br>
-- I'm not fussy distro-wise as hopefully it'll give me a chance to hop<br>
about a bit! Might even try to get a refund on whatever OS it happens to come<br>
with it :)<br>
<br>
Go ahead punks, make my Christmas Day...<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
