GET THE ASUS!! Great Netbook.
For the record though, I hate HP as well (HATE) by I do love my Mini 311. No only because it is the perfect hackintosh netbook, but also because third part bios lets me overclock it to keep it modern.

be smart and wait a few weeks for the AMD netbooks. take a look at the announced models at CES to see you get a lot more bang for the buck.

Yep now Ubuntu is installed not gone back to XP.
XBMC is smooth, library was a cinch to setup
Two slight issues
Sound over HDMI, got it working my manually changing the output in ubuntu, there are a couple of guides that I plan to try over the weekend.
Samsung LCD Resolution, its a HD ready telly, 1366x768, Nvidia doesn't list that. I have the same issue on my Pioneer Plasma 1024x768. There are tons of guides for 10.04, b know I just need to edit the xconf, dont want to screw it up lol.

Gutted there are issues with random freezing in ubuntu with the 1201n-nl.
Guess I will just have to stick with XP / vpn to the microserver.
XBMC on the XP instead.

Getting a little bored with my single core asus 1201nl, xbmc is fine I just don't really use it for that plus my server will be piping up to my bedroom anyway.
I really like the netbook, its just a little slow and I want to upgrade to Windows 7. Would the duel core 1201n be snappy enough for windows 7 or is there a newer version of these netbooks out?
