Give me a netbook you peoples

Actually, the title is misleading, I need recommendations.

So I am lookin for one, I don't care what OS it comes with, it will get obliterated either way, because I am not a Windows noob, Mac noob, or a Linux noob, I will be a FreeBsd sexy user.

Actually I probably will use FreeBsd, no guarantees, but probably, that is, FreeBsd, is not notebook friendly, and netbooks... ahahaha, ok maybe no FreeBsd, but probably Debian then. I don't really want to use Ubuntu, because that is what all noobs use, it also so happens my main laptop runs Ubuntu.

That was totally not important to read, so what do you think is a good netbook? I want a fast cpu, dualcore, and 1-2 gigs of ram, preferably 2 gigs. I am looking at the eee pcs, and they seem pretty nice. Though I know nothing about Intel atom.

Suggestions are nice :D

(Also not manditory but highly recommended if it can run compiz)

Wait I just cancelled my order, newegg said not all orders can be cancelled online as a default message, I hope it can be cancelle. I found flaws with it: no removeable battery, and it's quite a small battery! So now I am buying this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220651

EDIT: Succesfully cancelled, yay for a slightly thicker but much longer lasting laptop :D

My friend just got an Aspire One and while its nice I find the typing a little painful on 10 inches. I have tried 11.6 and it feels a little nicer. I plan on buying one for college notes. Places near me sell Acer Aspire Burst its pretty much the best looking one specs wise I have encountered. If it manages even a 5-ish hour battery life I'll be happy.

According to reviews the 1008HA which is the previous model really helped the build quality, and this is based off of it, so I hear it's good. The early eee pcs with 512 megs of ram do look like toys.JigglyWiggly_

Oh bad news, I am not going to use Ubuntu 9.10 because I see noobs at my school running around saying I am going to try Ubuntu 9.10! (I don't want to be associated) So Debian 5.03 it is :)JigglyWiggly_

It's not Ubuntu :P Ubuntu is based off of Debian :D (Well I think you meant that actually :P) And yeah it doesn't come with a lot of packages, and it is completely independent, Ubuntu is basically run by canonical. It's also more stable, since Ubuntu is based off of the unstable code of Debian, which is fine... that is pretty much stable :P And it also has a lot less user convenience, which is good, because then I can show off more :P (It has no GUI for the dpkg package manager, and just stuff like that) The downside of Debian is that I am going to be missing features, because let's face it, it's sticking to rather old stuff.

It still will be called Ubuntu, I mean nobody over there even knows what apt-get is. I mean I have that useless, I mean sexy compiz running on it, here's a lil video of it on my vostro 1310 http://3dslice.net/videos/compizwindowsmedia.html Also about your second question, web development? Well since I am more of a programmer, than a scripter, I would use the Eclipse IDE with an html plugin, that would work. I don't follow the question about the GUI, but why not? I mean if you don't like the look of Gnome, you can try the KDE environment. I don't like the KDE environment, but a lot of people do, especially FreeBsd users.

In case you don't know the difference, this is just a quick view

and here is KDE

Those the KDE one is a more customized.(In the photos)

NAOOAoaoaoaoaooaoaoa I have lost faith in myself. Debian is based off of 2.6.26 Linux kernel (Lenny, stable) which is too old for it, I need 2.6.31. So I then go the testing debian, which is only 2.6.30, which has wi-fi support but no ethernet support... At which point I told my experiences, someone recommended I get Sidix but I was too lazy to put it onto an SD card and I despise the KDE environment, and the XFCE environment. (XFCE is awful because it doesn't have a GUI for samba). Then I just went with Ubuntu 9.10 :( It's based on 2.6.31 and it works flawlessly :(

(I originally planned on FreeBsd with a minimal gui, and doing most of my work without one for the hawtness, except I just thought... if Linux doesn't have drivers, there is no way in hell that FreeBsd has any :P)

Back track is a kde environment, and it has all of the hacking tools, it is nice. Except there is no point, there are no monitor mode wireless drivers for this wireless card. Also I have most of the tools on my other laptop in Ubuntu, Nessus + metasploit + nmap is a great combo. I also don't like Gentoo, and no I am not going to compile my own kernel, waste of time. (Though I don't understand how compiling a kernel is hard?) Also this netbook I got is very fast Vegita. Stuff opens quickly, but mine has a 250gig hd, and Windows 7 ran alright on it. Ubuntu runs great. Very snappy.

(Also side note, why are you carrying so many hacking tools on you? I mean if you're scanning for vulneribilities in your network fine, but all you really need is a VPN, and a SSH tunnel to your home server when on the go.)
