Hi,

I have this netbook but not with Linux but with windows vista business edition, it works absolutely perfect! you are absolutely correct, the high resolution is amazing for such a tiny screen! the keyboard is tough and the trackpad is tough. I have used the asus netbook and it is very cheap and very bad quality. Thank you for recommending the HP 2133, I have subscribed.

Thanks!

Great review, I bought myself a Dell Mini 9 with Ubuntu 8.04 preloaded, its nice; but, I bought my wife the MSI Wind, WOW, scrubbed off the XP install, put 8.10 on, its absolutely amazing.

Be careful when you want to buy such a thing and would like to use linux on it! They made some "submodels" with hardware linux just DOESN'T work with.

I will sell the 2133 to some windows user and buy me a asus eee 901 with real linux support.

Nice one dude - just bought one and wanted reassurance! ;)

Actually he said it comes with Suse, he just put Ubuntu on it. From what I understand, you can choose to have it shipped with either Windows or Suse.
