Netbook for travel and hacking

[dj_ed12 at hotmail.com (Ed Baunton)]

I'm using an eee 900, still left the original (average) Linux Distro that it
came with and just boot BT3 off my USB stick whenever I want to use that.
The built in atheros card it came with is great for any wireless testing -
the keyboard is sometimes a little undersensitive but apart from that there
a no complaints. What more could you want?

The HP Mini 1000 series is the successor to the 2133. Has an intel atom
(1.6) and 1gb, expandable to 2. Really slick, and a nice size keyboard
(larger than any other i've seen). I'm really happy with it. also has a
broadcom (b43) wireless card that can inject out of the box (haven't
tested).

one caveat, HP has not released the external monitor adapter (yet). problems
with distribution.

I was looking at the same thing last night. Problem with the HP that 
was linked to is that its a VIA processor which is grossly slower than 
the Atom chips.  I like the Dell too and will be probably buying one 
myself. let us know which way you go.
