The Proliferation of Linux

Here to accompany the 10″ MSI Wind U100 is the U90 with an 8.9″ inch screen.  Specifications on this particular netbook (or sub-notebook, depending on how you see things…) are as follows:

• Intel® Atom^TM N270 Processor
• 512MB/1GB RAM (DDR II 667MHz)
• 8.9″ Wide Screen Display
• 80 GB SATA HDD
• 1.3M / 0.3M Webcam
• 2 Stereo Speakers and Microphone
  802.11b / g WLAN with Bluetooth
• 4-in-1 Card Reader, SD/MMC/MS/MSpro
• 10/100 LAN
• 3xUSB 2.0

Unfortunately no word on whether this will be available with Linux as well, the MSI site on mentions Windows XP (which is a damn stupid OS to run on such low-spec machines).
