It's helpful. Being a Linux enthusiast, i can't help but getting the Linux version of the netbook. it saved me the trouble of having to reformat the Windows partition to install Linux.

The Acer Aspire One has buttons that are pretty loud with a fair bit of movement before you've clicked. A mini-mouse might be useful, or you may want to learn some keyboard shortcuts. Screen size depends very much on how long you want to use it for. 9" is great for me, and I've had no issues with websites being incompatible. If you customize your browser and get rid of all the unnecessary toolbars (very easy in Firefox) and move your taskbar to the left or right side of the screen you'll get more room without forking out for a 12" screen.
