moved to correct forum as have a better chance of getting your question answered. also check netbook manufacturer to see if it has linux version of that netbook & even linux drivers.
good can of worms .. yes there probably is, and the hardware is going to be supported properly.. but it's a very obscure sub branch of the mips/risc processor people.. and nowhere I want to be bothered investigating.
