Just pray that if it goes wrong you'll have better luck with Medion's lack-of-support than I did...

dabs.com - Acer Aspire One AOA150-Aw Atom 512MB 120GB Linux White (LU.S040A.105)

 

criticisms: - battery life (get an ee901 with ssd if you need battery life)

linpus - acer made the same sudo 'mistake' that asus did. anyone can run anything as root !

pros - fast, small, light, 2xsd expansions
