But the little laptop's hardware might not be very linux-friendly. I've had all sorts of trouble getting Linux to work with my laptop (which isn't exactly little), and the little laptops will probably use even less common hardware... If I needed to get a small-footprint computer, I'd find this very tempting.

True, but I'm just worried that it might quickly become too limited. Mostly I'm worried about the lack of a keyboard.

It does support Bluetooth, so a Bluetooth keyboard would probably work, or could be made to work.
