subnotebook/netbook w/ linux 4 electronic music?

[Michael Zacherl.]

Hi there,
I browsed my archives and found that this has been discussed once in a while.

I'm in the market for a netbook and want to run linux w/ the usual suspects for experimental electronic music (SuperCollider, Pure Data, Ardour, Processing etc.)
Softwarewise Im currently looking at pure:dyne.
What would you recommend for the hardware?
I suppose battery life has improved, CPUs became a tad faster and linux runs a bit smoother on such a thing.
What I really barely can cope with is the glossy screens, but I'm afraid there's no way around it.
I'm planning to connect a USB-audio interface, so Firewire is not an issue (which Jack has troubles with, IIRC).
Very nice to have would be a built in modem w/ Sim-card slot for mobile data transfer. (Linux supported of course).

What would you suggest?
Thanks a lot,  Michael.
