I got the Aspire One Linux version and am pretty happy with it. Boots up in 15 sec. I can use Open Office to edit word and excel files, plus it can also read and edit ppt. files. Just added a 4GB SD card for expanded memory and bought a 4GB flash disk for additional storage.

It also connects to any available hotspot without problems. Hey, for its price, i can't ask for more, right?

The only downside I've noted are:

1. The smudge-friendly casing. Better have a 3M wipe handy.
2. Less than inspiring battery life - 2 hours only with the use of the wifi
3. You gotta find the appropriate linux drivers for your printer if you want to print files
