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

[james riley]

I'll admit to using pre-installed as a proxy for "will it sodding
work?" I think ASUS are plotting another line of gnu/linux
eeeeeeeeeees. Happy with my eee, which had Windows pre-installed. It's
even working out of the box with Trisquel.

So anyway, +1 for asus eee.
