[TriLUG] Linux netbook recommendations?

[David Black]

Something to consider: after initially shopping for a netbook, I ended up buying a used Thinkpad X60 (ca. 2006) for around the same price ($350).

About the same size as the larger netbooks (12.1" screen), it's a great little laptop and the large battery lasts in the 4-5 hr range with recent (K)ubuntu releases.  My only disappointment is the built-in Intel graphics - a bit underpowered considering all the other things it can do.
