Using Orca on NetBook Computers

[Peter Torpey]

I am considering getting a small, NetBook computer running Linux for times
when we are traveling or on vacation.

 

My questions are:

 

1.        If I purchase something like an Asus EEE PC running Linux, will I
be able to load and run Orca on it in order to make it accessible to me?

2.       If so, is there a pointer to someplace that can describe how to
load and configure Orca on such a PC?

3.       Alternately, is it possible or should I consider loading a
particular type of Linux on such a PC?

4.       If so, how can I load a new operating system without having a CD?
Can this be done from a memory card with an ISO of Linux on it?

5.       Is there another option which I missed here that might be a better
alternative?

I was quite taken with a $200 Asus machine running Linux which I saw today -
2.2 pounds, 4 GB memory - and thought it might be a good traveling companion
rather than lugging around a 7 pound laptop plus power supply.
