 I've had complete success installing arch on Acer Aspire One and MSI 
Wind. The latter needed rtl8187se for the wireless card which is readily 
available in AUR. That was the only piece of hardware not supported by the 
stock kernel, but that was a few months ago, before 2.6.29-ARCH hit the 
road.

 Fear not, even if it's only sold with windows, it surely runs linux. But 
don't buy a windows netbook if you plan to install linux; save your extra 
money from microsoft and improve linux statistics.
