[Wylug-discuss] Recommendation: Linux-compatible Netbook Under GBP 250?

[Dave Fisher]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but these products date
incredibly quickly, so really I'm asking advice from anyone who's
bought/used one of the current generation (2011).

Must-haves include:

1. Bootable via USB --- preferably with dual-bootability
2. Basic multi-tasking --- simultaneous multi-tab browsing + text
editing + ssh without screen-lag

Otherwise, my highest priorities are:

1. Ergonomics -- acceptable keyboard and screen
2. Adaptability -- connectivity and upgrade-ability, esp usb, memory, ssd

Nice to have:

1. Long battery life
2. Light to carry
3. Small

I really don't care about having Linux pre-installed --- Android or
Windows would probably do.

Thanks,

Dave
