I'm curious if any of you guys (and gals) have any opinions on a good netbook I could buy? I was looking for one with a good sized screen and some decent CPU power.
I was originally thinking of getting either this, this, or this, and just clearing off the drive and slapping OpenSuSE or Fedora on it.
Cheers.

lol... that's too powerful actually. The netbook would just be almost entirely for web stuff on the go anyway. I recently traded in my Nokia E71 for a much, much simpler phone (actually got a lot of money out of doing this), mainly I found that I was almost never using anything else on it except for it's actual phone features (not to mention calls to my cell are RARE). With a netbook however, I would actually be able to browse worth a flip, and even get some other stuff done on the side. :P

I would go with the gateway, I literally have the EXACT same laptop, just bigger

Websurfing these days requires a lot more from the computer then it used to. Anyway Id go with HP, Samsung or Asus personally. I have bad experience with Acer. The new Nokia's mini laptop is probably the best one at the moment, but costs way too much compared to what your getting.
