You also need one to burn the recovery DVDs and Applications/Drivers DVD so you can restore it to factory if you don't like Linux or Windows 7 or whatevery you decided to try this week.

Heh, yeah a lot of people use these as hobby machines. If you look at the Wind forums, you'd think 3/4 of the people who buy them wipe XP and put on OSX, and the other 1/4 go for a trifecta [(XP/Vista/7)+OSX+Ubuntu]. When there's no point in loading it up with media, 160GB is a lot of room to play.
If your plan is to actually use the machine, though, just grab PowerISO or the like on both the netbook and your main rig. I haven't even needed to do that; downloadable apps + flash media have me covered.
