LimePC was showing its products in the North Hall at CES 2009. The 9” netbook caught my attention, so I played with it a little. It runs the Lime OS, the company’s variant of Linux. I’m ont certain how much they changed it, but it looked mainly cosmetic. The construction quality was average. It’s not an Aspire one, but it seems a little cheaper than the original Asus Eee. And cheaper, it is. I think that the 9” version costs $249. Specs in the full post. (LimePC.com)

Note that it doesn’t use an Intel CPU, just in case you want to install apps compiled for X86.
