Which Netbooks are the most Linux friendly?

[connel]

I wouldn't know about the dual-boot issue tbh but it does seem to be a bit of a dealbreaker, potentially.

Yeah that's why I was I was a little concerned .

I would be very surprised if the issue was confined to that netbook.

Yeah I thought it would be mega strange if Grub didn't work just on that laptop when it came to dual booting but did on other netbooks.

Think I'm gonna gamble on it because it looked so nice in the shop lol.

Thanks for all your help everyone!!

I'm using using the Lenovo S10-3. Everything works out of the box except the brightness keys (function+up\down). You can change the brightness when booting the machine however. Also, suspend is a little flaky sometimes.

The keyboard on the S10-3 is best-in-class. The battery life is a bit short though. Just doing basic internet browsing, I haven't managed to break 5 hours of continuous use.

I'd recommend you take a look at the HP mini 5102. Good keyboard, great touchpad, and great battery life. I haven't managed to find anyone who's tried linux on it however, so I'm not sure of compatibility.
