[CoLoCo] Linux netbook

[Simon Engelbert]

I love my Acer Aspire One and pretty much everything works out of the box
with Ubuntu Netbook addition. Unfortunately I stepped on it last week and
the screen is toast. Luckily I should be able to replace it.</sidetrack> If
I was looking to get a new Linux friendly netbook I would seriously consider
the System 76 Starling http://bit.ly/9eMsjD as it comes stock with Ubuntu
and support....plus you are supporting the System 76 too. It also is very
customizable which is really nice. I know there were some issues with
wireless drivers in the past but I think that might have been resolved
