We still have Ubuntu on the MINI 9 we bought. Still thinking of putting Leopard on it soon. Haven't fully decided. It's my wife's, and she likes the games it comes with. And of course, browsing is fine. Not sure the purchase price of Leopard is worth it. Particularly with Snow Leopard a few months away? and no doubt more desirable than plain old 'n' busted Leopard.
My 2 cents on this discussion:
1) Apple loses nothing on the hardware when someone puts OS X on a netbook and wouldn't have otherwise purchased a new Mac.
2) Apple certainly makes a profit on each retail OS X sale. And they gave anybody permission to install it without paying for it.
3) Their policy of limiting installs to their own hardware is regrettable (IMO) but it's still their choice.
