I don't think many new netbooks use Linux any more (if any at all). When netbooks first cam out they used Linux because it was free so did not add to the cost of the netbook. Many people were unhappy with being unable to use the software they were used on their Linux netbooks. Most if not all netbooks dropped Linux and came with Windows XP then Windows 7 starter and I assume some form of Windows 8 now.
