I believe that openSUSE would have been just as good a fit on a netbook
as this:

I think the reason things like this keep going Ubuntu is not that Ubuntu
is better but that LTS
makes Ubuntu more usable and more re-installable because its less update
intensive.
openSUSE 10.3 , A very likable and usable version takes almost 2 gb of
updates to get to it's best.
if all these updates had been rolled into a 10.3 LTS ISO it could have
taken HP's breath away!
It's our duty to find a way to keep the libre\free version of SUSE as
close to enterprise as possible without stealing it's thunder.
We have to find a blend of reliability and pioneering edge. SLED moves
to slow for personal usage yet, IMHO , openSUSE seems to move to fast.
