Got myself an MSI Wind (Atom, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD) running Arch from second 1 
I got it. Everything works great/flawlessly: wireless, wired, camera, mic, 
audio, USB, SD, ... Fn keys also work great (no need to tweak anything).

No need to add repos or anything special to get the hardware up and running, 
haven't compiled anything, plain old: pacman -S <whatever>

Best thing is that it _DOESN'T_ heat up AT ALL (sorry for shouting 0:) I also 
tried out an Acer ONE with Arch and it heated up so bad you couldn't have it 
on your lap for more than a couple of minutes >:|

BTW: running KDE 4.3 :)

Just MHO ;)
