Hi Amichai, All the netbooks that are in the market today will work with any modern Linux distribution (Ubuntu 8.X, 9.X, OpenSuSE 10.X and up, Fedora 9 and above, RHEL 5 and above, Debian Lenny, etc) since those netbooks all use the same Intel crappy chipset which has Linux support for few years now. Many of the netbooks do not include Bluetooth, so you might to check the specs, but the bluetooth is supported on the newer Linux distributions.
NVidia's latest chipset for nettops (and soon probably some netbooks) - the ION is supporting Linux, although the fancy stuff (HDMI, 3D graphics) will require a binary only driver.
