Using Ubuntu on this netbook as well, after having deleted the pre loaded XP as too slow.

Easy to install as well. Download it onto a data stick, plug it in, go and make a cup of tea and all done.

Very impressive.

I wouldnt use it on my main computer as yet as I have programmes that do not run on it.

But for surfing (running Firefox) and basic use its perfect.

I'm just running off a CD - it is quick and as impressive as an extremely impressive thing!  cloud9:
