    head over to www.dell.ie/outlet and you can see a wide range of netbooks at a cheap price, remember though that normally it will be cheaper with Linux

    At €150 with XP, you'll be looking at second-hand.

    Bit small 7 inch and Linux, but well within budget at £90.

    I think I saw one a bit dearer last time I was in Maplin

    This is coming with a modified Debian install though and not XP as requested

    I've heard those Maplin netbooks are awful. I suggest you check out reviews/forums before parting with your cash. I suspect they have lots of "B Grade" offers because of a high return rate.

    Heard similar

    Just picked up my NC10 (which is out of your price range at €350)

    Loving it so far (will be upping the memory on it shortly as well)

    I think the battery life of the eee 900 model is not very good, it tends to discharge in a relatively short time- even when it is turned off. I hear the 901 has a far better battery life.

    But for that price- it looks like a good deal.
