    Small laptop

    G'day!

    Anyway I know very little about laptops, but I'm finding myself needing one for various things, nothing big such as games. I'm chasing a small laptop, basically I've narrowed down a few in no order

    * Dell Inspiron Mini 9
    * MSI Wind U100 or the U90 which has a 80GB HDD instead of 160GB and a 3-cell battery instead of 6-cell (how big of a difference does this make?)
    * Asus eeePC
    * Acer Aspire One AOA110 Blue7
    * Acer Aspire 5313-201G08Mi Notebook (tad big)

    The last 2 are cheap and I like the sound of them :-)

    Linux compatibility is a big issue for me, I don't wish to use Windows at all. Nor do I want Ubuntu :-)

    So my question is, has anyone used/heard of the laptops on my list? And are there any others I should be considering? Around the $550AUD mark and small of course.

    Thanks for any input!
    Back to research,
    Zac

    [edit]
    The MSI Wind's sound fantastic! I'd probably opt for the U90 because of the smaller screen... But the U100 does have a 6 cell battery.
