[Tfug] Netbook for $150

[Marco Savo]

I suggest to go to dell.com and check the refurbished mini 9 with Ubuntu
preinstalled, yesterday I found one 4 gb HD and 1 GB Ram for 287 dollars
including tax and shipment (if you think 4 GB HD isn't enough you can buy an
SD card 8 GB for 16 dollars).
For my side I'm going to wait, there is full of opportunities of better
netbook in the future (atom dual core processor, VIA's NANO processor,
chinese MIPS64-compatible Loongson 2F)
