Ask HN: Cheap ($300ish) netbook/laptop recommendation for a college student?

I built a beast Gaming PC this summer, and with some sidejobs I can afford a better netbook for the next few years of college.

Any recommendations for a decent netbook? This netbook would primarily be for note taking at school and light programming/web browsing. OS doesn't matter, as long as I can boot a *nix distro, but windows is fine too.

I'm a junior in CS for all that matters as well.
