[quote=drboom]My wife and I have matching ASUS 900A ($299.00 at Best Buy last fall) netbooks, and they work quite well. We run Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Intrepid; no idea if Windows does well on these machines.[/quote]
Have you upgraded to the latest Ubuntu 9.04? The boot up time is greatly improved and it feels a bit more snappier. I have a 6 years old Thinkpad running Ubuntu 9.04 and it feels faster than my latest and greatest desktop running Vista. When I just want to do quick web browsing and e-mail, I reach for my Thinkpad vs the PC.
