As I mentioned earlier the Toshiba NB200 (and its sister the NB205)
worked 90% out of the box - with the only exception being the Alsa
sound drivers.

The Ubuntu guys have a cooked up some very minor alsa patches which add
support for this netbook. I'm not sure the process for getting alsa
patches included in Moblin - but these patches would add the Toshiba
Next gen netbooks to the supported list.

Here are the patches and their source:

1) Ubuntu Bugzilla Reference with the patches.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/389040

2) Developers web server with patches in the directory (there are 3
patches in total)
http://people.canonical.com/~ogasawara/lp389040/jaunty/

This patch adds Speaker/Headphone output of alsa audio to Moblin on
the Toshiba NB2XX series netbooks (sold in the Europe, North America
and Japan). It also enables the built in and plug-in Microphone.

I manually applied the patches to Moblin and rebuilt the kernel -
works great. So if any enterprising dev wants to add another Netbook (actually 
3) to
the 100% supported list these patches are all that are required.
