Has anyone installed on this particular piece of hardware?
I love the machine, but it came with windows starter. Looking for
something a little more advanced. It doesn't have a CD drive, so I was

do you know UNetbootin? if your netbook can boot off the usb port,
UNetbootin allows you to do a 'live' boot to diverse Linuxen. there are
other ways around cd-lessness but this is pretty easy.
