I recently purchased a Lenovo net book (s10-3) with some of my Financial Aid Money, as my current laptop is on the way out, and I figured that I would only be using my net book for net-browsing and note taking in class. And So far I'm in love with it. Not only that, but I un-installed Windows and put on Ubuntu Linux. Now I can tell you that it was quite a process, and not being completely familiar with Linux, I had a few stumbling blocks along the way, but now its pretty amazing! I have written two papers on this netbook thus far, and I can honestly say I couldn't be happier! So if you all want to try a new experience (I suggest possibly running the Linux OS from a flash drive before installing it just to try it out) and some fun, get the latest version of Ubuntu Linux from...
Ubuntu!!!
And just as visual aid to see what the linux UI looks like, here's a screenshot of my desktop
One of the best things I found about Ubuntu linux (I'm currently running the netbook remix version of Ubuntu 10.10, version 11.04 is to be released soon!) is that its customizable to how you want it, however I wouldn't recommend it to novices in the computer feild, though google and the Ubuntu help forums could probably help Iron out any problems you might have!
