[MLUG] netbooks / laptops

[Pragnesh Chauhan]

I actually initially ordered from ncix, but after seeing that the ETA
was for march 24th i cancelled the order and called microbytes the
next day (march 4th), and they had one left in stock, went and picked
it up right away, i like it, took a while to get used to the 10"
screen, because my two other laptops are 15.4" and 14.1", but i
thought it was a good deal. i am still running xp on it, but plan to
install ubuntu on it, in the next couple of days, will post how it
goes, would love to hear from others of their experiments.
