As I mentioned in another thread, I just bought a Lenovo S10 with Atom  
processor 512k cache and 1G memory, 10+ screen, feels very solid, best  
scratch pad I've ever used and cost 399 dls.

I haven't put unix on it.  I'm probably going to buy another.  I gave  
this one to my wife for her iTunes and iPhone (cheaper than MAC :( )  
and while setting it up I was very pleasantly surprised at how solid  
it was and with great performance under XP that comes with it.
