  1. There isn't much use with both a list and a comparison
  2. How do we make the comparison table sortable?

Which netbooks are fully supported by which distro

It would be nice to mention for each distro which netbook(s) are fully supported by it. I mean including things like full support of power management (shutdown and suspend), Webcam support, Wifi support etc etc. For example kuki linux seems to be designed to fully support the Acer Aspire One. While other distro's (Ubuntu netbook remix) seem to be designed to suport all brands of netbooks, but it might not support all the features of many netbooks.

Aim of the distribution

Mahjongg refers to it. Perhaps it were good to put in what type of netbook the distro is centered: UNR is for all netbooks while Linux4One is for Aspire One.

Personally, I drop the section of google trends because it could be irrelevant. For the other hand, I drop too the references to version number and kernel versions and other version specific things, because these will be updated continously and these increase table. I center the article in the essential _among_ the netbook distribution: - what are the aims of the distro - what is the interface: netbook remix, gnome, xfce, etc. - if it has optimization (for example SSD write disk) - in what distro is based

The rest is superflous. In my opinion.

For the other hand, if this article is really a comparison and not like the original article a list, then we should change the title: [Comparison of Netbook Distributions] instead of [List of Netbook Distributions]
