It seems like most of them have 1GB of RAM and ship with XP. I'm just wondering if it ever feels slow. I'm sure I won't be taxing it much but so much stuff is built now for more RAM. Also, I'm wondering about operating systems. XP will probably work now but I wonder about the future. Another alternative would be Ubuntu or some other Linux OS but that can complicate some things.
I got a Dell 9" mini netbook last winter - they had it on special for $99 with the purchase of another machine.

It's nice for what it does, but the keyboard is way too small for me (but the kids like it). I've got it running ubuntu and it seems like a good way to go for what I paid for it.
