I sympathize with your desire for a trackpoint (instead of a touchpad),
and this is one reason I keep getting ThinkPads for my laptops.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any "netbooks" that come with trackpoints.
I hope you get an answer on this list so I'll get one as well (with the
obvious preference for FreeBSD, or at least *some* BSD Unix,
compatibility).
