Where did the Linux netbooks go?

We've sold Linux netbooks in the past - Linux netbooks were what started the whole craze to begin with. Unfortunately it seems that they just aren't available from the official distributors in New Zealand any longer (as much as they were to begin with). It's now down to their aging overweight cousins, the Windows XP netbook.

Originally we had access to limited models of the Asus Eee and the Acer Aspire One with Linux, though both of those now seem to have disappeared from the suppliers catalogs. The MSI Wind and Dell Mini haven't been available with Linux pre-installed here in New Zealand at all, nor other brands that I'm aware of.

Unfortunately all we can do is apologise to our loyal customers and comment on the sad state of affairs that the distribution of technology is here.
