I'll back everything Terry said about Novatech. I visited the showroom
and tried a live disk on a desktop machine with no problem (except the
guy didn't known about 'live CD's!); bought the machine with extra HD

I have used the Acer Aspire One Netbook for a couple of years and really enjoy
it (£150 with Linpus from Dabs)
I noted that eBuyer had some 10" netbooks for about £190 a week ago.
I have used Ubuntu -11.04 Netbook release and now have 11.10 working fine.

Hi folks,
My partner's ASUS Eee PC 1000HE netbook has been much abused and started
smoking the last time it was plugged in.
Does anybody have any recommendations for decent cheap netbooks that will
happily run a standard Ubuntu distro? Hoping to avoid the hassle I had to go
