Light and Cheap, Netbooks Are Poised to Reshape PC Industry (New York Times)

I suspect I'll be finding it damn useful when I migrate my firewall onto a
Soekris box, too. No moving parts -> no hard drive, and it doesn't have
all that much RAM, and while I can swap to flash I suspect swapping to a
compressed in-memory cache would be much better. (Swapping over the
network has... other problems, as we know from the travails of the
swap-over-NFS patches.)
