And it's an excellent way to reward OEM's that make sure it works with 
Linux :)

After some recent Asus experiences.. I just bought an Asus Eee "Seashell"
for my next batch of road trips. I'll boot WinXP, Yawn. And install Linux.
If it works as well as the Eee Tops I just loaded with Eeebuntu, I'll be 
very happy.
