[geeks] Best Cheap Netbook?

Ooh. Me likes the sound of this.

PDF'd that page. Thank you. I'd need to whack Unity with extream
prejudice & put on XFCE for my tastes but that shouldn't be that
difficult.

Stick enough ram in there and even that Celeron will still be faster
than a 10 year old 1.8 P4M I'd wager. Terrifying that I can find an 8
gb Crucial kit on Amazon for less than $50... Plus easy to get at the
disk when 320 is too small.

Thank you gentlemen, I think I know what I'll get in the somewhat near
term. I appreciate your help.
