Acer Aspire One D250
| 
Well I have given in and bought an Acer Aspire One D250 netbook. And it's a red one too. 
And yes, I had to pay the Microsoft tax to get the operating system I DON'T want (XP Home). So I promptly downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix Edition. gparted'd my drive and installed it - WOW! The Mutter window manager is good - especially for netbooks. It's a pity some of the applications windows don't always fit the 1024x600 screen: eg, Easytag, some parts of Thunderbird 2. But overall I'm impressed. Every bit of hardware works except the front wireless LED/switch (The wireless works out of the box - you just can't switch it off with the front hardware switch - very minor).
This netbook is an excellent buy and once coupled with the Ubuntu Linux 9.10 Netbook Remix, it's Fabulous! Freedom IT can supply you with these and install Ubuntu to boot. Contact us today.
