Any experience with the "Starling NetBook"?

[Paul Rumelhart]

I'll have to let you know, I ordered one a week or so ago and it's due 
to arrive tomorrow.

It's my understanding that you can install basically anything you want 
to from the repositories, though some things might not work that well 
because of the resolution, memory constraints, or performance.  Not sure 
if I'll try to change the desktop environment or not.  It depends on how 
much the pared down gnome thing annoys me.

 From my research before buying one, the battery should last about 5 1/2 
to 6 1/2 hours.  We'll see if that's true or not.
