Any luck with a book size pc?

[davesdynamite]

I've been looking at book-size pc's and I was wondering if anyone has had any problems or anything of note to say about them. Are they great? Do they suck? What?
Are they Windows only or can I use Linux? I only ask because don't they use highly integrated motherboards that Linux has a hard time dealing with?
For an example of what I'm looking at see (http://www.msicomputer.com./PRODUCT/NETPC/NETPC_6215.HTM).

I don't know, but you could spend less and get a better computer by getting a desktop or more preferrably a Tower...

well, I travel alot and would like something that I could take with me to work and with me when I travel... something I could easily carry on the plane... so, a book size seems good. (and is cheaper than a laptop with more features)
