is linux no good then

I'm sure linux is fine but some people struggle with it. You can't just use windows programs with it. As mentioned it doesn't have a DVD or a CD and even Windows versions won't be any good for games. A normal laptop would be better but even then the cheap ones won't be much good for recent games. Netbooks for for internet and simple tasks.

thank you might give it a miss then, buy a laptop instead. i thought a netbook did almost the same as a laptop. thanks

Just for reference:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbook

A netbook is a light-weight, low-cost, energy-efficient, highly portable laptop suitable for web browsing, email and general purpose applications — primarily noted for its small form factor. Netbooks typically have less processing power than full-featured notebooks and limited ability to run resource-intensive operating systems.[1]

Samsung NC10 is the main contender for the netbook crown but around £322

Looks as though they've pasted a Mac OS X desktop background onto the photo.

Weird.

If you want to play any but the most basic of games then you don't want a netbook

A netbook is basically for connecting to the net & doing a bit of office work
