What are your opinions on netbooks? I'm looking to buy one for my schoolwork next year. I know they can't do intense gaming, I just need one for word processing, Internet browsing, etc. Are they worth their small price tag?

I have one, and just put linux on it. Goes very slow with Windows 7.

Really? Hmm, I've never tried Linux, I suppose I should.

Here's one I found that's perfect for me. I can just partition the hard drive and have it be able to double boot to either Windows 7 or Linux. What do you guys think?
