What kinds of netbooks do Arch users have? maybe not the answer you're looking for, but i'm going to buy a nokia n900. http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/ I never really saw the need for a netbook as it's not much more portable then a normal laptop. Either I explicitly carry something (then I can just as well take a laptop) or I <will> have a device that literally fits in my pocket so I can take it anywhere, and still do all "mobile computing tasks" I want to do. note: the n900 is not a "smartphone". it's a small portable computer that also has gsm/data features.
