Nice... I've got an order in for a Dell Mini 9 w/ Ubuntu, I'll see how that
goes.  A co-worker of mine picked up a version preloaded with windows xp
thinking he'd just partition & install linux but I think he ran into some
hardware issues he hasn't been able to get past.  But it's a pretty sweet
little machine, sold me on picking one up for myself ;-)
