So am seriously tempted to buy one of the little netbooks and load Linux on it, just to play. The original plan was to do his with my Macbook, (note to my PC snob friends: I don't want to hear it, it was a hand-me-down. Do you turn down free laptops? Cos I don't.) but the Macbook has so completely insinuated itself in my life (complete with hipster cover) that I dread messing with it.
Some websites recommend trying it with the very clever expedient of loading Linux on a big thumb drive, tweaking it there to get the hardware drivers working correctly, and then running the load on the actual hard drive. (I can't believe you can do that with a thumb drive, that's so cool!)
The HP minis are reasonable price-wise, and seemed to work well at the high school I used to work at.
Something to think about..
