Do be careful and don't assume that different models will work. For
example, I have a MSI Wind U123, whose wireless (realtek rtl8187se)
does _not_ work. Trying out a physical machine is best.
Another bad part you should avoid but is common in netbooks is Intel
GMA500 graphics, which currently has no support. Doesn't even work on
Linux without a (buggy, crashy) binary blob driver.
