...anyone use a netbook here?

Looking for a low consumption simple solution to run my weather stations. The "pc" needs a USB connection, simple processing, and WIFI connection to FTP to my sites and autotweet.

Seems a netbook would take less power (want it to be charged via solar) and give off less heat than a laptop and besides being cheap should last a long time too.

Anyone have any experience with net books?

Would also like to put on a simple webcam to take snapshots that refresh every few minutes (dynamic IP on one location). What dirt cheap/freeware can do this especially if I want to watermark the feed that gets FTPed to a web site?
