That's why long battery life from an efficient OS plus ethical use of a netbook around others is important to me.
Thanks for the Wiki! Some nice info there.

Yea, I'm itching to put Ubuntu 9.04 (or even the Remix version) on my Dell Mini9 but haven't had time to research it for compatibility.

I am using U904 on my work notebook and for the software that comes with it (FireFox, OpenOffice, etc), it's blazing fast...and I mean blazing. I compared it to a dual-boot with bare XP with the same software just to be sure I wasn't crazy.
