Best netbootk for a business thin client
 

I'm looking for a netbook that I can use as a thin client for my business.
Requirements:

1. Very light to carry, but comfortable for typing.
2. Relatively resistant to abuse (no HHD; preferable SSD or none[=netboot]).
3. Linux friendly (wireless card recognized and with a stable driver, same with the keyboard, video card, monitor, ACPI, etc).
4. Relatively inexpensive, in order to buy it by the dozen (this one not a requirement).

So far I'm thinking of two possible options:

• Efika MX
• Asus Eee PC

If there is something else that I should consider in order to make this purchase, I will appreciate the input :)

A Chromebbook?

Would you really trust all your data to google ?. Especially a business ?.

Having had a Atom-based netbook, I'd say steer clear. In this house we have both a (very) thin 13" i3 (Toshiba) and i5 (HP), SSD based "laptop"s. I took the i5 to the USA for business and it was great to carry around compared to a typical laptop.
I got it refurbished from a local auction site (not ebay), and could have got a bunch of them for less than half the retail price - still with 6 months warrantee.
Note these are full (Win7) laptops, not thin clients that rely on a terminal server - I've never had a problem getting them to work with Linux, but I specifically bought them with Win7 to avoid safe-boot issues with Win8. Turns out they were being tossed out as Win8 was being pushed by the shops.

No. Why would you have to? If you can either boot to another OS, use BOOTP or just remote desktop (which I would think is the most sensible) then your data doesn't touch Google.
Buying old, potentially worn-out, hardware seems a little backward to me. A thin client is just either a BOOTP-enabled machine or a remote desktop of some kind. Any machine will do, therefore, as long as the software is available.

Thank you guys for your input :)
