Linux-Netbook.com is dedicated to small laptops running Linux based operating systems. Linux-Netbook.com is proudly powered by open source software, such as Drupal, Apache, PHP, MySQL, and jQuery. Needless to say that the server hosting this site is running Linux.
ASUS, who kicked off the netbook revolution 2 years ago with their 7" Eee PC 701 running a custom Linux distro, effectively abandoned Linux from their Eee product line this year. They even went further slapping Linux in the face by telling their potential and ex-customers that their computers are better with Windows.
Currently, ASUS conduct an online survey that runs till 2009/12/18 to learn about Eee PC usage today to make their products better. This is your chance to tell them that you would like to buy an ASUS netbook, if it only run a Linux based operating system.
So go take the survey, tell ASUS you want Linux, and spread the word.

You are so right. These
You are so right. These notebooks were excellent with Linux - at a price that was great for those on restricted incomes. I recommended one to a friend on a low income earlier this year, only to find they were no longer available for Linux. She wants to use the internet, email, spreadsheet and wordprocessing. No need for Windows.
I set one with Linux up for an older client just after Christmas (almost 12 months ago). She was thrilled with it (present from her children) and it was so easy to use on the internet.
The price said it all. Please, Asus, give your customers a choice.
