I have a 900a...tiger0rangeApril 7 2009, 20:59:24 UTC
...which I bought from Best Buy for $180 total(clearance floor item).
After dicking around with Xandros and puffting the thing daily, I switched to Ubuntu. Works great. Stuck a cheap chinese ($10 shipped) usb mini bluetooth adapter in one of the port (it's just a little bump) that works great (better than the fancy bluetooth adapter I have too).
Ubuntu is extremely fast, I often watch hulu or food network on it even.

I went through 3 of those chinese $10 shipped adaptors and didn't get a single one that actually worked. Oh, they'd synch with stuff, but well never actually transfer any data. Ended up getting a 'open item' adaptor at microcenter that works incredibly well. I'm debating about getting one of the ebay cables that'll plug into the Webcam port on the motherboard (which happens to just be a funky USB port) and installing the bluetooth dongle internally.
I'm actually quite happy with the way XP runs on it now.
