Comments on: Dell Mini 9 http://blog.verwilst.be/2009/02/10/dell-mini-9/ Linux, Open Source. That's pretty much it.

It's a piece of crap. The touch pad is horrible, as in unusable and you need to use a mouse. Kind of defeats the purpose right there. It's way too slow for XP, linux is actually usable, were it not for the crappy touchpad. Of course it incorporates all the other crappiness that makes dell laptops so bad. But those tend to conveniently appear once the warranty has expired. You get what you pay for and with dell this certainly is true. Netbooks are just another fad that will pass. Too big to be a convenient pocket device, too small to be usable as a real laptop. In other words, pretty much pointless. Beauty? It’s a piece of crap.
