agreed, these netbooks need to stay in the 9-11" range and stay under $300. otherwise, what's the point, I'd just buy a REAL notebook computer. Small. Light. something you toss in a backpack or keep in your car trunk. I don't want to worry about it. Also, why aren't we seeing USB 3.0 yet? Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11n, >0.3mp cameras, more than 3 measly USB ports, 2GB RAM, SDHC & Memory Stick Pro slot (like Dell has), all mandatory. And I'm sick of the 600 resolution. 1024x768 should be minimum, but I'd like to see 1440x900 as the min.

So, I was ready and willing to sign up for this Linux fund, however, I can't find anywhere on their site or the usbank link anything that talks in detail as to how much (what percentage) from my purchases are donated. How is this all calculated. is it based upon the actual purchase amount? a flat donation per purchase? is it based upon late fees (which I never have)? Of the current projects, how is the money distributed? is it equal shares? a percentage? I think they need to elaborate in much more detail. Related, I see they have a handful of current projects. I think there needs to be more. How about these: Compiz-Fusion Gentoo KDE Gnome Video camera driver development and get rid of Wikipedia, that doesn't need our help. ditch "blender" and add "Gimp"
