I have one from the netbook era that is running Lubuntu. I also have a Eee 
PC that is even smaller. The manufacturers were feeling their way around 
looking for a size between laptops and tablets and that form factor lost. 

We bought some 10" tablets for development and they seemed awkward to me. 
The netbook wasn't that much bigger and had a real keyboard.
