I'd say it depends on which netbook you have, i.e., what video chipset it
uses. Some of the Intel chips used in netbooks (e.g., the one used in the
early Asus eeepc line such as the 901 I have) provide some LITTLE bit of
3d accel functionality. Not very much, but enough that some lightweight
openGL programs benefit from it. GLXgears, desktop effects. It may well
be that it's enough to handle the 3d accel requirements of Gnome 3.
You could certainly try a F15 (or pre-release) LIVE CD on it and see
what happens. Make sure you let it boot from cd, NOT install on your
system until you're sure you really want to do that.
